Agent Operating Systems (AOS): Integrating Agentic Control Planes into, and Beyond, Traditional Operating Systems 文章

arXiv:2606.01508v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional operating systems were designed around deterministic programs, explicit control flow, and human initiated workflows. Their core abstractions processes, threads, system calls, files, and permissions assume bounded behavior and predictable interaction patterns. Agentic AI systems introduce a different execution model: long-lived, goal-directed entities that reason probabilistically, invoke tools dynamically, and adapt behavior based on feedback. While agents can be implemented as user-space applications today, their execution characteristics stress OS boundaries in scheduling, memory and state management, security, observability, and governance. This paper introduces the concept of an Agent Operating System (AOS), a systems architecture that integrates an agentic control plane into existing operating systems or, in some models, subsumes selected OS responsibilities over time.
