Agent Coordination Patterns

Master how AI agents coordinate tasks, resolve conflicts, and achieve shared goals

Handling Agent Conflicts

In multi-agent systems, conflicts arise when agents compete for resources, have opposing goals, or attempt simultaneous operations. Effective conflict resolution prevents deadlocks, ensures fairness, and maintains system stability.

Resource Competition

Two agents need the same CPU resources simultaneously

Conflicting Agents:
🤖Agent A: ML Training
🤖Agent B: Real-time Processing
Resolution Process:
🚨
🚨 Conflict Detected
Step 1 of 4

Both agents request 80% CPU usage

Resolution Method:

Priority-Based

Outcome:

Critical task proceeds, others wait or use limited resources

🛠️ Resolution Methods

Priority-Based: Pre-defined rules determine winner

Negotiation: Agents communicate to find compromise

Arbitration: Third party makes binding decision

Locking: Serialize access to prevent conflicts
