Introduction

We are pleased to invite researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and practitioners to contribute chapters to our forthcoming edited volume, Agentic AI in the Age of Autonomy with Concepts and Case Studies, to be published by Izmir Academy Publishing.
Agentic AI represents a transformative shift from passive predictive models toward autonomous, goal-driven, and adaptive intelligent systems. Unlike traditional AI systems that respond to isolated inputs, agentic systems perceive environments, plan actions, use tools, collaborate with humans or other agents, and operate with increasing levels of independence.
This volume aims to explore the theoretical foundations, system architectures, practical implementations, and societal implications of Agentic AI, bringing together conceptual insights and real-world case studies that demonstrate the evolution of autonomy in intelligent systems.

Scope of the Book

The book will address foundational theories, technical frameworks, implementation strategies, applications, and governance of Agentic AI. We welcome high-quality original contributions covering, but not limited to, the following themes:

Foundations of Agentic AI

  • Agent architectures and cognitive models
  • Goal-driven and task-oriented AI systems
  • Planning, reasoning, and decision-making frameworks
  • Memory, reflection, and long-term adaptation mechanisms
  • Multi-agent systems and collective intelligence

Large Language Models and Agentic Systems

  • LLM-powered autonomous agents
  • Tool use, API integration, and retrieval-augmented agents
  • Orchestration frameworks and agent pipelines
  • Prompt strategies and dynamic planning
  • Evaluation methodologies for agentic behavior

Autonomous and Embodied Agents

  • Robotics and cyber-physical agent systems
  • Autonomous vehicles and drone intelligence
  • IoT-enabled intelligent agents
  • Human-agent collaboration and interaction design

Applications and Case Studies

  • Agentic AI in healthcare, finance, education, and industry
  • Enterprise AI agents and workflow automation
  • AI agents for cybersecurity and adaptive defense
  • Smart cities and intelligent infrastructure
  • Real-world deployment challenges and lessons learned

Ethics, Safety, and Governance

  • Trust, alignment, and controllability in agentic systems
  • Transparency and explainability challenges
  • Bias mitigation and responsible AI practices
  • Regulatory frameworks and policy considerations
  • Societal impact of autonomous intelligent agents
