[Feature Request]: Swarms (Sets of Homogeneous Agents)

[3rd-Son]

Feature Name

ISwarm, SwarmBase, Swarm

Feature Description

This feature introduces a framework for managing swarms of homogeneous agents in the SDK. A swarm represents a logical grouping of agents with similar functionalities or goals, enabling coordinated behavior and interaction. The components include:

• ISwarm: An interface defining core methods for swarm management.
• SwarmBase: A base class providing default behaviors for creating, managing, and interacting with swarms.
• Swarm: A concrete implementation tailored to specific use cases, allowing further customization and integration into the MAS framework.

These components will facilitate the organization and control of agents working collectively within centralized or decentralized multi-agent systems (MAS).

Motivation

Swarms are crucial for managing agents as cohesive units, ensuring efficient collaboration and communication. This feature will:

• Simplify the management of large numbers of agents with similar roles or objectives.
• Provide reusable methods for interaction, task distribution, and state synchronization among swarm members.
• Enable centralized or decentralized coordination strategies.
• Lay the groundwork for scalable, modular MAS architectures.

Potential Solutions

1. Interface and Base Class Design:

• ISwarm: Define methods such as add_agent, remove_agent, broadcast_message, and sync_state.
• SwarmBase: Implement shared behaviors, such as maintaining a registry of agents, handling state synchronization, and providing default communication mechanisms.

2. Concrete Swarm Implementation:

• Extend SwarmBase to create specialized swarms for particular tasks or environments.
• Support features like:
• • Dynamic agent registration/deregistration.
• • Broadcasting tasks to all members or targeting specific subgroups.
• • Implementing shared goals and metrics for coordinated behavior.

3. Agent Interaction:

• Integrate with AgentFactory for seamless agent creation and deployment.
• Support hierarchical or nested swarm structures for complex systems.

4. Testing:

• Validate core functionalities such as agent management, task broadcasting, and state synchronization.
• Simulate swarm behaviors under both centralized and decentralized communication models.
