Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework

A Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework is an agent orchestration framework that is a stateful system framework that can support persistent multi-agent coordination tasks.

• AKA: Stateful Multi-Agent Framework, Persistent Agent Orchestration System, State-Preserving Agent Framework.
• Context:
  • It can typically maintain Agent Execution State across workflow execution cycles through state persistence mechanisms.
  • It can typically coordinate Multi-Agent Workflows while preserving agent interaction history via state management systems.
  • It can typically enable Workflow Resumption after execution interruptions through checkpoint recoverys.
  • It can typically support Long-Running Agent Processes with durable state storage and memory persistences.
  • It can typically implement Agent State Tracking across distributed agent instances via centralized state stores.
  • ...
  • It can often provide Human-in-the-Loop Integration with state-aware approval workflows.
  • It can often enable Agent Debugging Capability through state inspection tools and execution historys.
  • It can often support Fault-Tolerant Execution via state checkpoints and automatic recoverys.
  • It can often facilitate Agent Communication Patterns through shared state mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework to being a Complex Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework, depending on its stateful orchestration sophistication.
  • It can range from being a Centralized Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework to being a Distributed Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework, depending on its stateful architecture topology.
  • It can range from being a Memory-Based Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework to being a Persistent-Storage Stateful Agent Orchestration Framework, depending on its stateful storage durability.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Agent Development Frameworks for agent implementations.
  • It can utilize State Storage Systems for persistent data management.
  • It can employ Message Queue Systems for agent communications.
  • It can leverage Workflow Engines for execution orchestration.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Graph-Based Stateful Agent Frameworks, such as:
    • LangGraph Framework for graph-based stateful agent workflows.
    • Temporal Workflow Framework for durable stateful executions.
  • Actor-Model Stateful Frameworks, such as:
    • Akka Framework with persistent actors for stateful agent behaviors.
    • Orleans Framework for virtual actor orchestrations.
  • BPM-Based Stateful Frameworks, such as:
    • Camunda Platform for stateful process orchestrations.
    • Apache Airflow with stateful DAG executions.
  • Specialized Stateful Agent Frameworks, such as:
    • Microsoft Semantic Kernel with stateful planners.
    • AgentOS Framework for persistent agent states.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Stateless Agent Framework, which lacks persistent state management between agent executions.
  • Message-Passing Framework, which relies on transient messages rather than persistent states.
  • Reactive Agent System, which responds to immediate stimulus without historical context preservation.
