OpenAaaS: An Open Agent-as-a-Service Framework for Distributed Materials-Informatics Research

Researchers introduced OpenAaaS, an open-source Agent-as-a-Service framework for distributed materials informatics.

A Master Agent plans workflows while local sub-agents execute tasks near the data and hardware, preserving data sovereignty.

The paper demonstrates an evidence-grounded literature analysis agent and a secure large-scale alloy descriptor database service.

The approach could help institutions collaborate on materials-discovery AI without exposing sensitive datasets or proprietary tools.
