Description
The next era of enterprise architecture isn’t about executing instructions—it’s about reasoning over execution. As organizations experiment with agentic, many high ROI pilots fail to reach production because they lack governance, scalability, and control over autonomous reasoning. This book introduces ELAERA— an Extensible Layered Architecture for Enterprise Reasoning and Autonomy. A modern Layered architectural that unifies “policy-driven enterprise principles, dual-intelligent controlled reasoning, loosely coupled extensible interactions, secure knowledge modeling for accurate context, and embedded explain-ability for every decision and action”. With practical examples and design patterns, this book explains ELAERA’s layered principles to guide you from concept to production—enabling autonomous reasoning controlled with policies, and seamless integration with modern reasoning frameworks and legacy systems. Whether you’re a CIO, architect, or senior engineer, this book provides the blueprint for taking AI from ideation to production—securely, responsibly, and at scale.
