Breaking Down AI Silos: Building Interoperable Multi-Agent Systems with Google's A2A Protocol and Java SDK

This talk introduces Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, now under the Linux Foundation, which standardizes communication between AI agents across languages and platforms. It covers A2A’s architecture, secure workflows, a new Java SDK, and demonstrates real-world multi-agent interoperability, addressing the interoperability crisis in enterprise AI ecosystems.

The enterprise AI landscape is fragmenting into isolated agent ecosystems—Python agents can't talk to JavaScript ones, vendor-specific frameworks create walled gardens, and businesses struggle to orchestrate complex workflows across their tech stacks. Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, now under Linux Foundation stewardship, offers a breakthrough solution: a universal language for AI agents.
This talk reveals how A2A is revolutionizing multi-agent collaboration by enabling seamless communication between agents regardless of their underlying technology. We'll explore the protocol's architecture, demonstrate real interoperability through live demos, and showcase the newly launched Java SDK that brings enterprise-grade agent development to the JVM ecosystem.
What You'll Learn:
  • The Interoperability Crisis: Why siloed agents limit AI potential and how A2A solves this with a standardized communication protocol
  • A2A Architecture Deep Dive: Agent Cards for discovery, task lifecycle management, secure artifact exchange, and JSON-RPC over HTTP communication
  • Java SDK in Action: Building production-ready agents with minimal boilerplate using enterprise-proven technologies like Mutiny-Zero for reactive streams

Multi-Language Demo: Live demonstration of Python, JavaScript, and Java agents collaborating in a real business workflow
