DCAI4IA 2025
The first edition focused on the data foundations of intelligent agents, including data quality, governance, and lifecycle management.

The emergence of Agentic IA is transforming isolated software applications into interconnected service ecosystems in which autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents act on behalf of users and organisations, enabling autonomous reasoning, collaboration, and service interaction across diverse domains, including enterprise systems, cloud platforms, public services, and the emerging Agentic Web. As these intelligent agents become increasingly deployed across such environments, they introduce new challenges related to interoperability, orchestration, governance, trust, security, lifecycle management, and accountability. Recent initiatives such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent2Agent (A2A), AP2, and AGNTCY illustrate the rapid evolution toward open agent ecosystems. Nevertheless, many existing solutions remain fragmented and lack the engineering principles needed to support dependable, interoperable, and scalable deployments.
The Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) community provides a strong engineering foundation for addressing these challenges. Through years of research and innovation, SOC has established mature principles and technologies for service discovery, composition, orchestration, interoperability, quality of service, governance, observability, and lifecycle management.These concepts naturally extend to the engineering of intelligent agents, enabling them to be designed, deployed, and managed as robust service-oriented software components within complex distributed ecosystems.
SOC4IA 2026 provides an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss advances in the engineering of intelligent agents from a Service-Oriented Computing perspective. The workshop particularly encourages contributions that bridge Service-Oriented Computing with Artificial Intelligence, Multi-Agent Systems, Business Process Management, the Semantic Web, Security, Human–Agent Interaction, and other disciplines involved in the design and operation of intelligent agent ecosystems.
SOC4IA 2026 continues the 1st International Workshop on Data-Centric Artificial Intelligence for Intelligent Agents (DCAI4IA 2025), held in conjunction with ICSOC 2025, by extending its scope from data-centric AI toward the broader engineering of service-oriented intelligent agent ecosystems. It also builds on the discussions initiated at the 1st International Workshop on Foundations and Architectures for the Agentic Web (FAAW 2026) broadening these perspectives beyond Web-based environments to encompass the wider Agentic AI landscape while strengthening the connection with the Service-Oriented Computing community.
