Explore the essential protocols and frameworks that form the foundation of AI agent development in this comprehensive conference talk. Master the key standards including MCP (Model Context Protocol), A2A (Agent-to-Agent), ACP protocols, and frameworks like ADK (Agent Development Kit), Arc, Quarkus, and LangChain4j through detailed explanations and live demonstrations. Begin with an overview of the main standards and protocols, understanding their merits and popularity in the current ecosystem. Build an agent using the Agent Development Kit and walk through making tool calls, then standardize that tool via a local MCP server before deploying it as a remote MCP server for sharing. Dive deep into the A2A protocol to enable multi-agent conversations, utilizing Quarkus and LangChain4j to demonstrate how different technology stacks interact seamlessly through standardized protocols. Gain practical understanding of not just what these protocols accomplish and how they function, but why they are crucial for effective AI agent development, with hands-on walkthroughs and live coding demonstrations throughout the session.
