AI observability reproducibility Computer Information Systems

In this talk, I will discuss our recent work on benchmarking, evaluation, and deployment of multi-agent LLM systems, and use it to outline a broader research agenda for agentic AI as a systems discipline - where progress depends not only on better models, but on principled infrastructure for observability, reproducibility, safe experimentation, and scalable execution.
