基于大语言模型的多智能体系统(MAS)通过协同智能处理复杂任务,展现出强大潜力。然而,系统中智能体的配置、连接与协调方式——即拓扑结构——仍缺乏系统研究。本文呼吁将拓扑感知作为核心研究方向,主张显式建模并动态优化智能体间交互结构。我们识别出三个关键组件:智能体本身、通信链路以及整体拓扑,共同决定系统的适应性、效率、鲁棒性与公平性。为实现这一愿景,提出一个三阶段系统框架:1)智能体选择,2)结构表征,3)拓扑生成。该框架不仅为多智能体系统设计提供理论基础,更在语言建模、强化学习、图学习与生成建模等领域开辟新研究前沿,有望充分释放其在复杂现实应用中的潜力。最后,本文指出评估多智能体系统面临的关键挑战与机遇,希望所提框架与观点能为代理型AI时代提供关键洞见。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for tackling complex tasks through collaborative intelligence. However, the topology of these systems--how agents in MASs should be configured, connected, and coordinated--remains largely unexplored. In this position paper, we call for a paradigm shift toward \emph{topology-aware MASs} that explicitly model and dynamically optimize the structure of inter-agent interactions. We identify three fundamental components--agents, communication links, and overall topology--that collectively determine the system's adaptability, efficiency, robustness, and fairness. To operationalize this vision, we introduce a systematic three-stage framework: 1) agent selection, 2) structure profiling, and 3) topology synthesis. This framework not only provides a principled foundation for designing MASs but also opens new research frontiers across language modeling, reinforcement learning, graph learning, and generative modeling to ultimately unleash their full potential in complex real-world applications. We conclude by outlining key challenges and opportunities in MASs evaluation. We hope our framework and perspectives offer critical new insights in the era of agentic AI.
