BusMA: A Bus Communication Substrate for Multi-Agent Systems
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.15054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Agent (MA) systems are effective at solving complex tasks that demand planning, tool use, and the synthesis of evidence from multiple sources. Existing systems typically adopt Hierarchical Manager-Worker (HMW) or Router-based Message Passing (RMP) structures as their communication protocol. However, these designs restrict agent autonomy: Worker agents cannot directly consult specific "peers", and misrouted messages can propagate errors. Inspired by bus architectures in computer systems, we propose BusMA, a communication framework that allow
