DESCRIPTION:Software architecture has continuously evolved—from monolithi
 c applications to distributed systems\, cloud-native architectures\, micro
 services\, and now intelligent and agentic systems. While many foundationa
 l architectural principles remain relevant\, AI introduces a fundamentally
  different class of components into enterprise solutions: components capab
 le of reasoning\, making decisions\, using tools\, maintaining context\, a
 nd collaborating with other agents.\n\nWhat does this mean for the softwar
 e architect?\n\nThis session explores the changing responsibilities of arc
 hitects as enterprise applications move from predominantly deterministic w
 orkflows toward systems that combine conventional software components with
  AI models and autonomous or semi-autonomous agents.\n\nDrawing on practic
 al enterprise architecture and emerging agentic solution-design experience
 \, the session examines how architects need to rethink system boundaries\,
  agent responsibilities\, orchestration\, context and memory\, integration
  patterns\, observability\, governance\, security\, and human oversight. I
 t will also explore how AI is changing the architect’s own workflow by a
 ssisting with requirements analysis\, solution exploration\, documentation
 \, implementation\, and architectural decision-making.\n\nThe session pres
 ents intelligent-system architecture not as a replacement for traditional 
 software architecture\, but as its next evolution—requiring architects t
 o combine established engineering discipline with new patterns for designi
 ng systems whose behavior is increasingly dynamic\, contextual\, and intel
 ligent.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kalaranjani\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ie
