Master Thesis - AgentOPS frameworks and infrastructure

Company Description

Welcome to a world, where your ideas lead to something big. Welcome to Bosch.

At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: we grow together, we enjoy our work, and we inspire each other. Join in and feel the difference.

Bosch R&D Center Lund stands for modern development in cutting edge technology in the areas of connectivity, security, mobility solutions and AI. We are growing rapidly and looking for people to join us on our mission to become the Bosch Group’s 1st address for secure connected mobility solutions. We are working on a range of interesting projects, with a particular focus on software development for the automotive industry, electrical bicycles and Internet of Things.

Job Description

Problem statement

Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming software development. Tool support powered by large language models (LLMs), such as GitHub co-pilot and ChatGPT, are becoming an integrated part of the software development workflow. LLM-based agents, which take on software development tasks more autonomously, are now starting to emerge. While an LLM provides replies to prompts in one step, an LLM-based agent can autonomously perform tasks and take decisions, using an LLM in several steps. In addition to an LLM, the agent includes perception capabilities, memory, and supporting resources, and can provide the LLM with context intelligence via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

When multiple agents collaborate, we get a dynamic system where agents jointly work on a problem where human involvement changes from being aware of all details to a supervisory role. Setting up an infrastructure for a multi agent system and how to manage it is still an open question where several frameworks and platforms are emerging and key characteristics and how to balance different decisions are not known.

Proposed solution

We want to explore which are the prominent frameworks and platforms emerging for managing the agent operations to understand the capabilities and limitations. We also want to set up an example multi-agent system on a Bosch infrastructure to get hands-on experience and an insight into what is required in terms of knowledge and infrastructure to operate a multi-agent system.

We also want to explore and understand where to deploy agents – on a personal computer, on a local on-premises hardware or in the cloud. There are different aspects to consider such as cost and data integrity. There might be decision to take while setting up a system (design-term) as well as more or less automatic decisions during runtime (operations).

You will have the opportunity to shape the thesis based on your knowledge, skills and discoveries during the project.

Scope of thesis project

Two students on master level working onsite at the Lund office (primarily).
