TL;DR: Hypermedia Drive approach to deploying Microservice-based applications using MAS.

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel Multi-Agent MicroServices (MAMS) framework, centered on a formal deployment ontology. This ontology models the environment as a dynamic knowledge graph, separating deployment intent from runtime reality. We demonstrate how Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents autonomously reason over this graph to assemble, deploy, and manage containerized systems. Agents explore the environment via a hypermedia-driven API following Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS) principles, react to system-wide events using WebSub notifications, and coordinate tasks through direct messaging. This approach enables agents to translate high-level goals into low-level Docker API commands, providing a practical blueprint for bridging the gap between declarative
agent reasoning and the imperative nature of modern cloud infrastructure.
