Pitfalls of agent-oriented development
Open accessAbstract
While the theoretical and experimental foundations of agent-based nyrrtems arc becoming increasingly well understood, comparatively little effort hns been devoted to understanding the pragmatics of (muitl-Jagent systems development -the everyday reality of carrying out an agent-based development project.As a result, agent nyetcm devciopcrs are needlessly repeating the same mistakes, with the result that, at best, resources are wasted -at worst, projects fnii.This paper identifies the main pitfalls that await the agent system developer, nnd where possible, makes tentative recommendations for how these pitfalls can be avoided or rectified.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
