Visão Geral do Sistema Multi-Agente

Abstract

The Cidadão.AI Multi-Agent System (MAS) implements a sophisticated distributed architecture with 17 specialized agents, each embodying historical Brazilian figures while maintaining cutting-edge AI capabilities. This document provides a comprehensive technical analysis of the agent architecture, communication protocols, coordination mechanisms, and performance characteristics.

1. Architectural Principles

1.1 Agent-Oriented Design

The system follows the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architectural pattern, where each agent maintains:

• Beliefs: Current knowledge about the system state and data
• Desires: Goals and objectives specific to their specialization
• Intentions: Current plans and actions being executed

1.2 Distributed Coordination

The system implements hierarchical coordination with the Master Agent (Abaporu) serving as the orchestrator:

class AgentCoordinator:
    """Coordinates multi-agent interactions using contract net protocol."""
    
    async def coordinate_investigation(self, task: InvestigationTask) -> CoordinationResult:
        # 1. Task decomposition
        subtasks = await self.decompose_task(task)
        
        # 2. Agent selection via auction mechanism
        selected_agents = []
        for subtask in subtasks:
            bids = await self.solicit_bids(subtask)
            winner = max(bids, key=lambda b: b.utility_score)
            selected_agents.append((winner.agent, subtask))
        
        # 3. Parallel execution with monitoring
        results = await asyncio.gather(*[
            self.execute_with_monitoring(agent, subtask)
            for agent, subtask in selected_agents
        ])
        
        # 4. Result aggregation and validation
        final_result = await self.aggregate_results(results)
        return final_result

3. Communication Architecture

3.1 Message Passing Protocol

@dataclass
class AgentMessage:
    """Standard message format for inter-agent communication."""
    
    sender: str                    # Sending agent ID
    receiver: str                  # Target agent ID
    message_type: MessageType      # Message classification
    content: Dict[str, Any]        # Message payload
    priority: Priority             # Execution priority
    correlation_id: str            # For request-response tracking
    timestamp: datetime            # Message creation time
    ttl: int                      # Time-to-live in seconds
    reply_to: Optional[str]       # Reply address
    metadata: Dict[str, Any]      # Additional metadata

class MessageType(Enum):
    TASK_REQUEST = "task_request"
    TASK_RESPONSE = "task_response"
    COORDINATION = "coordination"
    INFORMATION_SHARE = "info_share"
    STATUS_UPDATE = "status_update"
    ERROR_REPORT = "error_report"

3.2 Communication Patterns

3.2.1 Request-Response Pattern

async def request_response_interaction(
    sender: BaseAgent, 
    receiver: BaseAgent, 
    request: AgentMessage
) -> AgentMessage:
    """Implements synchronous request-response pattern."""
    
    # Send request with correlation ID
    correlation_id = uuid4()
    request.correlation_id = correlation_id
    await sender.send_message(receiver, request)
    
    # Wait for response with timeout
    response = await sender.wait_for_response(
        correlation_id, 
        timeout=30.0
    )
    
    return response

3.2.2 Publish-Subscribe Pattern

class EventBus:
    """Publish-subscribe communication for loose coupling."""
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.subscribers: Dict[str, List[BaseAgent]] = defaultdict(list)
    
    async def publish(self, event_type: str, data: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
        """Publish event to all subscribers."""
        
        event = AgentMessage(
            sender="system",
            receiver="broadcast",
            message_type=MessageType.INFORMATION_SHARE,
            content={"event_type": event_type, "data": data}
        )
        
        # Send to all subscribers
        tasks = [
            agent.handle_message(event)
            for agent in self.subscribers[event_type]
        ]
        
        await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)

4. Coordination Mechanisms

4.1 Contract Net Protocol

The system uses an enhanced Contract Net Protocol for task allocation:

class ContractNetProtocol:
    """Implements contract net protocol for task allocation."""
    
    async def announce_task(self, task: Task) -> List[Bid]:
        """Announce task and collect bids from capable agents."""
        
        # 1. Task announcement
        announcement = TaskAnnouncement(
            task=task,
            requirements=task.requirements,
            deadline=task.deadline,
            reward=task.reward
        )
        
        # 2. Capability matching
        capable_agents = await self.find_capable_agents(task.requirements)
        
        # 3. Bid collection
        bids = []
        for agent in capable_agents:
            bid = await agent.generate_bid(announcement)
            if bid:
                bids.append(bid)
        
        return bids
    
    async def award_contract(self, winning_bid: Bid) -> ContractResult:
        """Award contract to winning bidder."""
        
        contract = Contract(
            task=winning_bid.task,
            agent=winning_bid.agent,
            terms=winning_bid.terms,
            deadline=winning_bid.deadline
        )
        
        # Execute contract with monitoring
        result = await self.execute_contract(contract)
        return result

4.2 Consensus Mechanisms

For critical decisions, agents use a voting-based consensus:

class ConsensusManager:
    """Manages consensus decisions among agents."""
    
    async def reach_consensus(
        self, 
        proposal: Proposal, 
        voting_agents: List[BaseAgent]
    ) -> ConsensusResult:
        """Reach consensus using weighted voting."""
        
        votes = []
        for agent in voting_agents:
            vote = await agent.vote(proposal)
            votes.append(vote)
        
        # Calculate weighted consensus
        total_weight = sum(vote.weight for vote in votes)
        approval_weight = sum(
            vote.weight for vote in votes 
            if vote.decision == VoteDecision.APPROVE
        )
        
        consensus_ratio = approval_weight / total_weight
        
        result = ConsensusResult(
            proposal=proposal,
            consensus_ratio=consensus_ratio,
            threshold_met=consensus_ratio >= 0.67,  # 2/3 majority
            votes=votes
        )
        
        return result

5. Agent Specializations

5.1 Master Agent (Abaporu)

The Master Agent implements sophisticated orchestration with self-reflection:

class AbaporuMasterAgent(BaseAgent):
    """Master orchestrator with self-reflection capabilities."""
    
    async def orchestrate_investigation(
        self, 
        investigation: InvestigationRequest
    ) -> InvestigationResult:
        """Orchestrate complex multi-agent investigation."""
        
        # Initial planning
        plan = await self.create_investigation_plan(investigation)
        
        # Execute with self-reflection
        iteration = 0
        max_iterations = 3
        
        while iteration < max_iterations:
            # Execute current plan
            results = await self.execute_plan(plan)
            
            # Self-reflection
            reflection = await self.reflect_on_results(results, investigation)
            
            if reflection.quality_score >= 0.8:
                break  # Satisfactory results
            
            # Adapt plan based on reflection
            plan = await self.adapt_plan(plan, reflection)
            iteration += 1
        
        # Final result compilation
        final_result = await self.compile_final_result(results, reflection)
        return final_result
    
    async def reflect_on_results(
        self, 
        results: List[AgentResult], 
        original_request: InvestigationRequest
    ) -> ReflectionResult:
        """Self-reflection on investigation results."""
        
        # Evaluate result quality
        quality_metrics = await self.evaluate_quality(results)
        
        # Check completeness
        completeness = await self.check_completeness(results, original_request)
        
        # Identify gaps or inconsistencies
        gaps = await self.identify_gaps(results)
        
        # Generate improvement suggestions
        improvements = await self.suggest_improvements(gaps, quality_metrics)
        
        return ReflectionResult(
            quality_score=quality_metrics.overall_score,
            completeness_score=completeness.score,
            identified_gaps=gaps,
            improvement_suggestions=improvements
        )

5.2 Investigator Agent (Tiradentes)

Specialized in corruption detection and financial anomalies:

class TiradentesInvestigator(BaseAgent):
    """Specialized investigator for corruption and financial anomalies."""
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            name="Tiradentes",
            capabilities=[

            'local_outlier_factor': LOFDetector(),
            'statistical': StatisticalDetector()
        }
    
    async def investigate_anomalies(
        self, 
        data: pd.DataFrame,
        investigation_type: str
    ) -> InvestigationResult:
        """Comprehensive anomaly investigation."""
        
        # Apply multiple detection methods
        anomaly_results = {}
        for detector_name, detector in self.anomaly_detectors.items():
            anomalies = await detector.detect(data)
            anomaly_results[detector_name] = anomalies
        
        # Ensemble voting
        consensus_anomalies = await self.ensemble_voting(anomaly_results)
        
        # Evidence collection
        evidence = await self.collect_evidence(consensus_anomalies, data)
        
        # Risk assessment
        risk_assessment = await self.assess_risk(consensus_anomalies, evidence)
