Multi-Agent Scheduling with LLM-Assisted Contract Net Negotiation for Stream Processing in Mobile Edge Computing

arXiv:2608.12371v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stream-processing systems increasingly operate across heterogeneous mobile edge--cloud infrastructures, where workload volatility, resource contention, and stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements complicate decentralized scheduling. This paper proposes emph{MAS-DecStream}, whose main contribution is emph{LLM-MR-CNP}: an extension of the classical Contract Net Protocol with semantic CFP formulation, progressive context disclosure, multi-round proposal revision, negotiation…

Diagnostic Foundation for Evaluating LLMs’ Research Integrity as Co-Scientists

arXiv:2608.12345v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models are increasingly deployed as co-scientists, yet their ability to uphold research integrity under institutional pressure remains unmeasured. We introduce IntegrityBench, a benchmark evaluating misconduct classification, ethical action reasoning and artifact-grounded decision making across 36 paired tasks under a 5-level implicit-explicit pressure protocol spanning 3 domains and 4 research…

Position: Reasoning is a Learnable Rule-Based Process

arXiv:2608.12325v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous reasoning is among the most scientifically and economically motivating topics in AI today. Historically the purview of symbolic AI, recent advances have mainly emerged from deep probabilistic generative models. Despite immense interest and rapid progress, the generative AI community has not clearly converged on operational definitions for reasoning and…
