OpenAaaS: An Open Agent-as-a-Service Framework for Distributed Materials-Informatics Research
Researchers have introduced OpenAaaS, an open-source framework designed to facilitate distributed materials informatics research through organized multi-agent collaboration. The framework operates on the principle of "code flows, data stays still," allowing a Master Agent to decompose tasks without accessing subordinate agents' local data or computational resources. This architecture ensures data sovereignty while enabling secure integration of isolated materials intelligence silos, demonstrated through case studies in literature analysis and alloy descriptor database services.
