Agent Orchestration Software Framework

An Agent Orchestration Software Framework is an orchestration software framework that can support agent orchestration development tasks.

• AKA: Agent Coordination Framework, Multi-Agent Orchestration Framework, Agent Workflow Framework.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) manage Agent Communication through agent message protocols and agent interaction patterns.
  • It can (typically) coordinate Agent Execution through agent scheduling mechanisms and agent task distribution.
  • It can (typically) provide Agent Discovery through agent registrys and agent capability advertisement.
  • It can (typically) enable Agent Collaboration through agent coordination protocols and agent negotiation mechanisms.
  • It can (typically) support Agent Monitoring through agent state tracking and agent performance metrics.
  • ...
  • It can (often) facilitate Agent Composition through agent workflow definitions and agent pipeline configuration.
  • It can (often) ensure Agent Reliability through agent fault tolerance and agent recovery mechanisms.
  • It can (often) implement Agent Scalability through agent load balancing and agent resource pooling.
  • It can (often) provide Agent Security through agent authentication and agent access control.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Agent Orchestration Software Framework to being a Complex Agent Orchestration Software Framework, depending on its agent orchestration feature set.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific Agent Orchestration Software Framework to being a General-Purpose Agent Orchestration Software Framework, depending on its agent orchestration application scope.
  • It can range from being a Lightweight Agent Orchestration Software Framework to being a Heavyweight Agent Orchestration Software Framework, depending on its agent orchestration resource footprint.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Agent Runtime Environments for agent execution management.
  • It can support Agent Development Tools for agent workflow debugging.
  • It can enable Agent Deployment to agent execution platforms.
  • It can facilitate Agent Integration with external systems and third-party services.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • AI Agent Orchestration Frameworks orchestrating artificial intelligence agents with LLM capabilitys, such as:
    • Microsoft Semantic Kernel providing agent plugin architectures.
    • LangChain Framework enabling agent composable chains.
    • AutoGen Framework supporting agent conversational orchestration.
  • Software Agent Orchestration Frameworks coordinating software agents in distributed systems.
  • Robotic Agent Orchestration Frameworks managing robotic agents in automation environments.
  • IoT Agent Orchestration Frameworks controlling IoT agents across edge devices.
  • Game Agent Orchestration Frameworks directing game agents in virtual environments.
  • Business Process Agent Frameworks orchestrating workflow agents for business automation.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Service Orchestration Frameworks, which orchestrate web services rather than autonomous agents.
  • Container Orchestration Frameworks, which manage containers rather than intelligent agents.
  • Workflow Engines, which execute predefined workflows without agent autonomy.
  • Message Brokers, which route messages without agent orchestration capabilitys.
