New BusMA framework boosts multi-agent system communication and autonomy

Researchers have introduced BusMA, a novel communication framework designed for multi-agent systems that aims to enhance agent autonomy and efficiency. Unlike existing Hierarchical Manager-Worker (HMW) or Router-based Message Passing (RMP) structures, BusMA utilizes a shared bus architecture allowing any agent to directly address others. This system includes components for agent registration, message routing, and shared memory management, enabling workers to post messages with specific intents like discussion, challenge, or guidance. Experiments using frontier LLMs across 13 tasks demonstrated that BusMA consistently outperforms current HMW and RMP methods in visual reasoning, mathematical reasoning, and knowledge retrieval. AI

IMPACT Enhances agent autonomy and efficiency in complex tasks, potentially improving performance in areas like reasoning and knowledge retrieval.

    BusMA: A Bus Communication Substrate for Multi-Agent Systems

    arXiv:2609.15054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Agent (MA) systems are effective at solving complex tasks that demand planning, tool use, and the synthesis of evidence from multiple sources. Existing systems typically adopt Hierarchical Manager-Worker (HMW) or Router-based …
