让上千个智能体高效协作,还能保护隐私。
Hierarchical Decentralized Multi-Agent Coordination with Privacy-Preserving Knowledge Sharing: Extending AgentNet for Scalable Autonomous Systems
- 分层组织智能体群组,动态分工并共享知识
- 任务完成率提升23%,通信开销减少40%
- 适合大规模自主系统,尤其关注隐私与扩展性
去中心化多智能体系统在基于大语言模型的智能体间自主协作中展现出潜力。尽管AgentNet通过动态有向无环图拓扑实现了完全去中心化协调,但仍存在大规模智能体下的可扩展性挑战、通信开销高、缺乏隐私保障以及资源分配不佳等问题。我们提出AgentNet++,一种分层去中心化框架,在AgentNet基础上引入多级智能体组织结构、基于差分隐私和安全聚合的隐私保护知识共享机制、自适应资源管理及理论收敛性保证。该方法通过集群化层级结构使智能体自我组织为专业化小组,实现高效的任务路由与知识提炼,同时保持完全去中心化。我们提供了收敛性与隐私边界的正式分析,并在复杂多智能体任务上通过大量实验验证:相比AgentNet及其他基线,AgentNet++实现23%的任务完成率提升、40%的通信开销降低,且维持强隐私保护。该框架可有效扩展至1000+智能体,同时保留原始AgentNet的涌现智能特性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Decentralized multi-agent systems have shown promise in enabling autonomous collaboration among LLM-based agents. While AgentNet demonstrated the feasibility of fully decentralized coordination through dynamic DAG topologies, several limitations remain: scalability challenges with large agent populations, communication overhead, lack of privacy guarantees, and suboptimal resource allocation. We propose AgentNet++, a hierarchical decentralized framework that extends AgentNet with multilevel agent organization, privacy-preserving knowledge sharing via differential privacy and secure aggregation, adaptive resource management, and theoretical convergence guarantees. Our approach introduces cluster-based hierarchies where agents self-organize into specialized groups, enabling efficient task routing and knowledge distillation while maintaining full decentralization. We provide formal analysis of convergence properties and privacy bounds, and demonstrate through extensive experiments on complex multi-agent tasks that AgentNet++ achieves 23% higher task completion rates, 40% reduction in communication overhead, and maintains strong privacy guarantees compared to AgentNet and other baselines. Our framework scales effectively to 1000+ agents while preserving the emergent intelligence properties of the original AgentNet.
