Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The agent view provides a level of abstraction at which we envisage computational systems carrying out cooperative work by interoperating across net worked people, organizations and machines. A major challenge in building such systems is coordinating the behavior of the individual agents to achieve the individual and shared goals of the participants. We propose a conceptualization of the coordination task around the notion of structured "conversation" amongst agents. Based on this notion we build a complete multiagent programming language and system for explicitly representing, applying and capturing coordination knowledge. The language provides KQML-based communication, an agent definition and execution environment, support for describing interactions as multiple structured conversations among agents and rule-based approaches to conversation selection, conversation execution and event handling. The major application of the system is the construction and integration of multiagent supply chain systems for manufacturing enterprises. This application is used throughout the paper to illustrate the introduced concepts and language constructs.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
