Multi-Agent Systems

A Hybrid Role-Based Reference Architecture for LLM-Enhanced Multi-Agent Systems

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming how we build multi-agent systems (MAS); yet, many LLM-centric frameworks still lack the engineering rigour that agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) provides, resulting in systems that are powerful …

A Multi-Level Agent-Based Architecture for Climate Governance Integrating Cognitive and Institutional Dynamics

Climate governance processes involve complex interactions between heterogeneous citizens, advocacy groups, media actors, and political decision-makers. While agent-based models (ABMs) have been widely used to study environmental policy and …

Engineering the Next Generation of Multi-Agent Systems: A Community Roadmap from EMAS 2025

This paper presents the outcomes of an open-floor session held at the 13th International Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS 2025), aimed at co-developing a research roadmap for the EMAS community. Participants collaboratively …

HLSS: An Agent-Based Adaptive Layered Perception Framework for Hyperspectral Industrial Environments

We present Hybrid Layered Spectral Segmentation (HLSS), an agent-based multimodal framework for material-aware instance segmentation in hyperspectral industrial imagery. HLSS frames perception as a cooperative interaction of proposal agents (spatial …

Towards Engineering LLM-Enhanced Multi-Agent Systems: A Critical Examination of Roles

This paper proposes a structured approach to integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) by revisiting and extending the fundamental Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) concept of "roles." Traditional AOSE …

RTF: a Reputation-based Team Formation Approach for Enhancing Dependable Critical Multi-UAV Operations

The development of autonomous multi-unmanned aerial vehicles, or multi-UAVs, represents significant progress in various fields, including the military, business, and civilian sectors. As this innovative field develops, the necessity of creating …

Agent-Oriented Engineering with Generative AI: Report from the Agent Toolkits 2025 Community Session

Intelligent agents have been a cornerstone of Artificial Intelligence (AI) since its early days—and received significant attention in the 1990s when the notion of autonomous agent was established, giving rise to research on Engineering Multi-Agent …

UAV Marketplace Simulation Tool for BVLOS Operations

We present a simulation tool for evaluating team formation in autonomous multi-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) missions that operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). The tool models UAV collaboration and mission execution in dynamic and adversarial …

The Coral Protocol: Open Infrastructure Connecting The Internet of Agents

Coral Protocol is an open and decentralized collaboration infrastructure that enables communication, coordination, trust and payments for The Internet of Agents. It addresses the growing need for interoperability in a world where organizations are …
