Can SODA verify multi-agent systems?
Can Proof Assistants Verify Multi-Agent Systems?
This paper explores using the SODA programming language to formally verify multi-agent systems (MAS). SODA compiles to both Scala (for execution) and Lean (a proof assistant), bridging the gap between implementation and formal verification. The researchers demonstrate this approach with a simplified e-commerce example, proving properties like list length invariance during transactions. This is relevant to LLM-based multi-agent systems because it offers a potential pathway to formally verify the behavior of complex agent interactions, increasing reliability and trustworthiness. The ability to combine practical execution with rigorous formal analysis addresses a key challenge in building robust and dependable multi-agent applications, particularly those incorporating LLMs.
