arXiv:2606.14710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-resident AI agents increasingly span home servers, IoT hubs, laptops, and phones, yet their coordination stacks still assume cloud-style transports or a central relay. We present EdgeCitadel, an edge multi-agent orchestration platform built around a single NATS 2.10 server with the built-in MQTT adapter. The design combines MQTT connectivity for heterogeneous agents, JetStream-backed persistence and replay for backend services, direct peer delegation over a shared subject namespace, and a passive aggregator that visualizes and stores traff
The proliferation of AI agents across diverse edge devices necessitates a robust, decentralized orchestration layer beyond traditional cloud-centric models.
This development is crucial for enabling the secure, efficient, and scalable deployment of multi-agent AI systems at the edge, reducing latency and reliance on centralized infrastructure.
The ability to run and coordinate sophisticated AI agents on local devices, from IoT to personal computers, becomes substantially more feasible and resilient.
