# Board of Directors - Multi-Agent Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Board of Directors is a sophisticated multi-agent architecture that implements collective decision-making through democratic processes, voting mechanisms, and role-based leadership. This architecture provides an alternative to single-director patterns by enabling collaborative intelligence through structured governance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🏛️ Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Board of Directors architecture follows a democratic workflow pattern:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Task Reception**: User provides a task to the swarm
|
||||||
|
2. **Board Meeting**: Board of Directors convenes to discuss and create a plan
|
||||||
|
3. **Voting & Consensus**: Board members vote and reach consensus on task distribution
|
||||||
|
4. **Order Distribution**: Board distributes orders to specialized worker agents
|
||||||
|
5. **Execution**: Individual agents execute their assigned tasks
|
||||||
|
6. **Feedback Loop**: Board evaluates results and issues new orders if needed (up to `max_loops`)
|
||||||
|
7. **Context Preservation**: All conversation history and context is maintained throughout the process
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🏗️ Architecture Components

### Custom Board Templates

|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Dynamic Role Assignment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# Automatically assign roles based on task requirements
|
||||||
|
board_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
board_members=board_members,
|
||||||
|
agents=agents,
|
||||||
|
auto_assign_roles=True,
|
||||||
|
role_mapping={
|
||||||
|
"financial_analysis": ["Treasurer", "Financial_Member"],
|
||||||
|
"strategic_planning": ["Chairman", "Executive_Director"],
|
||||||
|
"technical_assessment": ["Technical_Member", "Executive_Director"],
|
||||||
|
"research_analysis": ["Research_Member", "Secretary"],
|
||||||
|
"crisis_management": ["Chairman", "Vice_Chairman", "Communications_Member"]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Consensus Optimization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# Advanced consensus-building mechanisms
|
||||||
|
board_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
board_members=board_members,
|
||||||
|
agents=agents,
|
||||||
|
enable_consensus=True,
|
||||||
|
consensus_timeout=300, # 5 minutes timeout
|
||||||
|
min_participation_rate=0.8, # 80% minimum participation
|
||||||
|
auto_fallback_to_chairman=True, # Chairman can make final decisions
|
||||||
|
consensus_rounds=3, # Maximum consensus building rounds
|
||||||
|
consensus_method="weighted_majority", # Consensus method
|
||||||
|
enable_mediation=True, # Enable mediation for conflicts
|
||||||
|
mediation_timeout=120 # Mediation timeout in seconds
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting and Debugging
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Common Issues and Solutions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Consensus Failures**
|
||||||
|
- **Issue**: Board cannot reach consensus within loop limit
|
||||||
|
- **Solution**: Lower voting threshold, increase max_loops, or adjust voting weights
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
board_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
decision_threshold=0.6, # Lower threshold
|
||||||
|
max_loops=5, # More loops
|
||||||
|
consensus_timeout=600 # Longer timeout
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Agent Timeout**
|
||||||
|
- **Issue**: Individual agents take too long to respond
|
||||||
|
- **Solution**: Increase timeout settings or optimize agent prompts
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
board_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
timeout_per_agent=600, # 10 minutes per agent
|
||||||
|
enable_agent_pooling=True # Use agent pooling
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Poor Quality Output**
|
||||||
|
- **Issue**: Final output doesn't meet quality standards
|
||||||
|
- **Solution**: Enable quality gates, increase max_loops, or improve agent prompts
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
board_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
enable_quality_gates=True,
|
||||||
|
quality_threshold=0.8,
|
||||||
|
enable_peer_review=True,
|
||||||
|
max_loops=4
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Resource Exhaustion**
|
||||||
|
- **Issue**: System runs out of resources during execution
|
||||||
|
- **Solution**: Implement resource limits, use agent pooling, or optimize parallel execution
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
board_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
max_workers=2, # Limit parallel workers
|
||||||
|
enable_agent_pooling=True,
|
||||||
|
parallel_execution=False # Disable parallel execution
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Debugging Techniques
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# Debugging configuration
|
||||||
|
debug_config = BoardConfig(
|
||||||
|
max_loops=1, # Limit loops for debugging
|
||||||
|
enable_logging=True,
|
||||||
|
log_level="DEBUG",
|
||||||
|
enable_tracing=True,
|
||||||
|
debug_mode=True
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Create debug swarm
|
||||||
|
debug_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
agents=agents,
|
||||||
|
config=debug_config
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Execute with debugging
|
||||||
|
try:
|
||||||
|
result = debug_swarm.run(task)
|
||||||
|
except Exception as e:
|
||||||
|
print(f"Error: {e}")
|
||||||
|
print(f"Debug info: {debug_swarm.get_debug_info()}")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Enable detailed logging
|
||||||
|
import logging
|
||||||
|
logging.basicConfig(
|
||||||
|
level=logging.DEBUG,
|
||||||
|
format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Create swarm with logging enabled
|
||||||
|
logging_swarm = BoardOfDirectorsSwarm(
|
||||||
|
agents=agents,
|
||||||
|
config=BoardConfig(
|
||||||
|
enable_logging=True,
|
||||||
|
log_level="DEBUG",
|
||||||
|
enable_metrics=True,
|
||||||
|
enable_tracing=True
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
)
|
