AI-agent COmmunities for software engineering: the EU MOSAICO project

The application of LLM-based agents to Software Engineering requires a tremendous increase in their accuracy and minimisation of their bias. While LLMs continue increasing in size and performance, it seems that phenomena like hallucinations of a single agent are substantially inevitable, since they are linked to the fundamental inference mechanism in generative models. The talk gives an overview of the EU MOSAICO project, which provides a comprehensive theoretical and technical framework to enable the usage of large AI-agent communities for software engineering. The integrated MOSAICO platform supports communication, orchestration, governance, quality assurance, benchmarking, and agent reuse. MOSAICO will be integrated with existing development environments, to present the results to software engineers, and allow expert users to intervene in the AI decisions.
