ADPS Agent Systems Blue Book · Engineering Concept

Engineering Concept Registry

Case-grounded language for comparing agent systems.

This registry does not assume prior knowledge of payroll systems, GIS, MBSE, or agent architecture. Start with a case: understand the task, failure, and delivered result, then open a concept page.

Case-coined records language formed in a specific implementation. ADPS restatement relates the mechanism to established software-engineering ideas. Candidate concept still needs evidence from independent systems.

Dongfang Yiteng · Long-Running Execution Agent

A payroll configuration task crosses several dependent steps. The runtime must preserve the original goal, progress, parameter sources, and approval state. Read the case report

  • Control/Narrative Planes — Separate discrete program control from the language context used for reasoning.
  • Execution vs Content — Classify the delivery and its failure cost before choosing the runtime.
  • Three State Planes — Keep narrative, mechanical values, and task scheduling in separate state planes.
  • Mechanical State Plane — Bind business parameters to auditable sources instead of regenerating them through a model.
  • Anchor / Ledger / Collection — Keep the original goal fixed, append milestones, and project only the facts needed now.
  • Scratchpad Board — Store the current goal, step, observation, blocker, evidence, and next action in a small working surface.
  • Memory Envelope — Assemble only the goal, progress, intent, evidence, and recalled experience needed by the current step.
  • Layered Memory L1/L2/L3 — Separate current input, task facts, and cross-task experience, with references back to source records.
  • Orchestrator and Facade — Keep control flow in the orchestrator and input/output presentation in the facade.
  • Intent as Compilation — Compile open language into a bounded control signal with an explicit fallback.
  • Task DAG and State Machine — Encode dependencies in a graph and lifecycle transitions in a state machine.
  • Activity Events and Timeline — Record model, tool, state, latency, and cost events on one execution timeline.
  • HITL Block and Resume — Pause a sensitive node, preserve its state, revalidate, and resume after approval.

Xuanxu Technology · GIS Publishing Agent

A map dataset passes through processing, publication, and user-side verification. An internal success log does not prove that a user can see the map. Read the case report (Chinese)

  • Reasoning Assetization — Move repeated, reviewable decisions into versioned capability assets before runtime.
  • Disk Fact Plane — Keep stage facts, progress, and acceptance evidence in recoverable external contracts.
  • External Acceptance Probe — Test the result from the user side and let that evidence decide success.
  • Failure-to-Rule Loop — Require every repeated failure to change a rule, test, template, or capability asset.
  • Capability Certification — Grant automatic execution rights only to a tested capability version and scope.

AI4MBSE · Modeling Agent Project

A natural-language request will change a shared engineering model. Before write-back, the system must resolve the objects, relations, scope, and acceptance conditions. Read the research report
