Huawei Technologies Canada Huawei Technologies Canada Old Dog Consulting Interacting entities such as agents, tasks, users, workloads, data, compute, etc., in AI ecosystem/network are proliferating, yet there is no standardised way to discover what entities exist, what attributes such as skills, capabilities, physical characteristics, etc., they posses, what services they offer, or how to reach them across organisational boundaries. Discovery today relies on proprietary directories or manual configuration, creating fragmented ecosystems that prevent cross- domain collaboration. This document describes the problem space that motivates Discovery of Agents, Workloads, and Named Entities (DAWN). It clarifies the scope of work within entity ecosystems, identifies why current approaches are insufficient, and outlines the challenges a standardised discovery mechanism must address. It does not propose a specific solution or protocol.
