Summary

This paper introduces a classification framework for agentic orchestration in Business Process Management, balancing AI agent autonomy with robustness and traceability. It provides criteria and metrics for designing and implementing agentic orchestrations, demonstrated through a predictive light sensing scenario.

The concept of Agentic Business Process Management (BPM) is gaining traction, promising to combine the autonomy of AI agents, particularly those based on Large Language Models (LLMs), with the robustness, tractability, and traceability offered by traditional process technology. This research aims to provide clarity in this emerging field. The paper introduces a classification framework for various agentic orchestration options. This framework categorizes orchestrations based on properties such as task specificity, traceability, tractability, autonomy, reactivity, and correctness assurance. It also outlines qualitative decision criteria to guide the realization of different scenarios. Furthermore, the work proposes quantitative metrics for assessing the properties of these realizations. These metrics are then demonstrated through different agentic implementations within a predictive light sensing scenario. Overall, this research offers a structured approach with properties, criteria, and metrics to aid in the design and implementation of effective agentic orchestrations and the orchestration of agents within business processes.

Why it matters

Professionals involved in process automation, AI integration, or enterprise architecture can use this framework to systematically design, implement, and evaluate agentic workflows, ensuring a balance between AI autonomy and business process control.

How to implement this in your domain

  1. 1Utilize the proposed classification framework to analyze and categorize existing or planned agentic workflows.
  2. 2Apply the qualitative decision criteria to select appropriate orchestration patterns for specific business processes.
  3. 3Define and track quantitative metrics to assess the performance, robustness, and traceability of agentic implementations.
  4. 4Pilot agentic orchestration in a controlled scenario, like predictive sensing, to gain practical experience.

New Metric Improves LLM Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards.

This research introduces the Relative Surprisal Index (RSI), an information-theoretic metric for adaptive token selection in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) for LLMs. RSI-S, an entropy-adaptive filtering method based on RSI, improves reasoning accuracy by 2-3 percentage points by retaining tokens within a stable surprisal interval.
