Team
Founders, advisors, and the expert group.
ADPS brings together researchers and practitioners working across agent architecture, software engineering, open-source infrastructure, and enterprise deployment. The team maintains the pattern catalog, publishes reference material, and tests the language against runnable systems and field cases.
Founders
Jia Huang (黄佳) Profile PDF
AGENT ARCHITECTURE · PATTERN LANGUAGE · ENGINEERING EDUCATION
AI researcher at A*STAR Singapore and author of Manning's Designing AI Agents. His work focuses on applying software-engineering discipline to production agent systems: explicit responsibilities, execution topologies, verification boundaries, and reusable patterns. He is also the author of the Chinese Agent 设计模式 and the Geekbang course Claude Code 工程化实战.
Selected work:
- Co-proposed and published the two-axis framework: cognitive function × execution topology.
- Curates the ADPS pattern catalog and selection methodology as a reviewable architecture language.
- Connects books, courses, enterprise cases, and runnable references into a common engineering vocabulary.
Bingsheng Ru (茹炳晟)
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING · AGENT SYSTEM · R&D PRODUCTIVITY
Industry Research Consultant at Tencent Research Institute. Vice Chair of the CCF TF Multi-Agent Systems Engineering SIG. Chief Technology Expert at Codewisdom, Fudan University. A leading practitioner and communicator in software engineering, agent systems, R&D productivity, and AI-augmented development in China.
Regular technical conference producer, co-chair, keynote speaker, and book author/translator — connecting the agent design conversation to the broader Chinese software-engineering community.
ADPS focus: software engineering methodology, agent-systems engineering, R&D productivity, and complex-system evaluation.
Selected contributions:
- Grounds ADPS in real software-development settings instead of toy problems and demos.
- Brings R&D productivity, software complexity, organizational collaboration, and engineering evaluation perspectives that constrain the pattern catalog with realism.
- Connects ADPS to CodeWisdom, Tencent, and the broader Chinese software-engineering community — extending the work beyond the AI subculture.
Willem Jiang (姜宁)
OPEN-SOURCE INFRASTRUCTURE · INTEGRATION · WORKFLOW
Long-time Apache Software Foundation contributor. Key member of the Apache Camel community. Active open-source practitioner. Listed as a DeerFlow developer; involved in DeerFlow 2.0 public activities.
ADPS focus: open-source infrastructure, integration, and runnable workflow implementations.
Selected contributions:
- Connects the ADPS pattern language to runnable, deployable, community-collaborated harness engineering.
- Brings cross-generational engineering experience — from Apache Camel to CAMEL-AI / DeerFlow — across routing, orchestration, integration, workflow, and community governance.
- Ensures agent design patterns don't stay confined to books and talks but enter open-source projects, developer communities, and real toolchains.
Bo Liang (梁博)
ENTERPRISE SAAS · FINANCIAL SERVICES · PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Vice President, co-founder, and founding shareholder of Shanghai Dongfang Yiteng Technology Co., Ltd., responsible for technology and product. The Dongfang Yiteng core team comes from the banking internet-channel domain and focuses on SaaS services in the banking and broader-finance ecosystem. Its Xinxiangtong SaaS matrix has joint-operation arrangements with 20+ banks, serves 50,000+ enterprise customers, and is undergoing a full transformation from a SaaS product matrix to an agents-based system.
ADPS focus: enterprise deployment evidence and the transformation of financial-services SaaS into agent systems.
Selected contributions:
- Validates the ADPS pattern language inside complex business flows: banking and broader-finance, HR SaaS, payroll, attendance, tax, disbursement.
- Supplies the SaaS-to-agents transformation scenario — not "add a chat entry point," but rebuilding enterprise service flows into systems that are budgetable, observable, authorizable, and reviewable.
- Continuously brings real enterprise problems, architectural feedback, and product-boundary constraints back into the framework.
Advisor
Joey Tianyi Zhou (周天异)
Head of the Applied AI Systems & Agents Chapter, IAIC, A*STAR. Professor at Singapore Management University (SMU). Co-author of the two-axis framework paper (arXiv 2605.13850).
Expert Group
Haofen Wang (王昊奋)
KNOWLEDGE GRAPH · KNOWLEDGE-ENHANCED LLM · SYSTEMATIZATION
Tenured Professor and doctoral supervisor at Tongji University, focused on knowledge graphs and knowledge-enhanced large language models. His core open-source work includes OpenSPG (an enterprise knowledge graph), KAG-Thinker (the first open-source knowledge-enhanced reasoning model, 10k+ GitHub stars), MemOS (a memory-native operating system for LLMs, 1M+ calls/day), and AI-Ceping (an LLM-evaluation crowdsourcing platform, 300k monthly active users) — deployed across airport operations, financial risk control, and in-cabin interaction.
Over the past five years he has published three monographs and 45 papers as first or corresponding author at venues including CVPR, WWW, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, and IJCAI, with 12,700+ Google Scholar citations (6,600+ on a single paper); awards include DASFAA 2025 Best Student Paper and HCII 2024 Best Paper. Founding rotating chair of OpenKG, the largest open Chinese knowledge-graph community; executive editor of Data Intelligence; secretary-general of the CCF NLP Technical Committee; deputy secretary-general of the CIPS Language and Knowledge Computing Committee.
ADPS focus: knowledge engineering and systematization of the pattern catalog as a navigable, queryable knowledge system.
Haili Zhang (张海立)
LANGCHAIN AMBASSADOR · OPEN SOURCE · REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION
Author of the LangGraph in Action and LangChain in Action practical guides, LangChain Ambassador, and LFAPAC open-source evangelist. A Bilibili creator with a following in the tens of thousands, long focused on the practical landing and advocacy of GenAI, cloud-native, and frontier internet technology.
ADPS focus: runnable reference implementations that map the pattern language to LangChain and LangGraph.
Huisheng Yin (尹会生)
ENGINEERING EDUCATION · CLOUD-ARCHITECT ECOSYSTEM
Vice President of GeekBang Technology; Hall of Fame Expert of the Tencent Cloud Architect Technology Alliance.
ADPS focus: bringing the ADPS pattern language into GeekBang's engineering-education ecosystem and the Tencent Cloud architect community — accelerating enterprise adoption of production-grade agent engineering.
