Towards a Framework for Multi-Bot Collaboration
Sun 27 Apr 2025 15:07 - 15:30 at 213 - Session 2: Collaborative and Educational Use of Bots Chair(s): Emad Shihab
Software bots are rapidly proliferating, assisting developers with tasks such as coding, testing, modeling, and documentation. However, most research has focused on the use of isolated bots, overlooking a critical aspect to unlock their full potential: multi-bot collaboration. In this work-in-progress paper, we introduce the first prototype of Botica, a framework leveraging asynchronous APIs, messaging, and containerization to facilitate the development, deployment, and interaction of bots. A pilot study using Botica for REST API testing illustrates its effectiveness and the potential advantages of bot collaboration.
