Abstract (arXiv)

Agentic AI systems operating over geospatial data require more than autonomous reasoning and tool use; they must also support explicit orchestration, spatial validation, governance, provenance, failure handling, and human decision authority. Prior work introduced ANASSA, an agentic AI orchestration framework for spatial intelligence that established high-level components and responsibility boundaries for governed agentic execution (arXiv:2609.14824). However, the framework did not specify how those high-level responsibilities should be systematically decomposed into an implementation-facing low-level architecture. This paper addresses that gap by applying Design Science Research (DSR) to refine the ANASSA framework from high-level architectural (HLA) responsibilities into a low-level architecture (LLA). The resulting design preserves the responsibility boundaries of the foundational framework while translating them into executable architectural structures, including 47 logical roles, versioned task graphs, capability-based agent selection, typed contracts, explicit runtime states, spatial validation mechanisms, governance controls, failure and recovery paths, and provenance records. The architecture is demonstrated through an end-to-end execution trace and analytically evaluated for requirements traceability, internal consistency, responsibility preservation, and technology independence. The resulting high-level-to-low-level design provides an implementation-facing bridge between the ANASSA framework and future system implementations, defining how governed spatial agentic workflows can be made inspectable, reconstructable, and testable without binding the architecture to a specific AI model, geospatial platform, communication protocol, or deployment environment.
