CATVis is presented, a Collaborative multi-agent workflow system that bridges the gap by transforming NL intents into structured middle representation for visualization, and significantly improves complex workflow generation correctness while reducing prompt complexity.
Abstract
Recent advances in AI for Science have enabled natural language (NL) interfaces for scientific data analysis. In turbomachinery CFD post-processing, translating ambiguous high-level analytical goals (e.g., vortex identification) into precise visualization procedures supporting complex domain-specific analysis is challenging. We present CATVis, a Collaborative multi-agent workflow system that bridges this gap by transforming NL intents into structured middle representation for visualization. Our approach reformulates domain-specific visualization procedures as composable workflow representations, and use multi agent to generate workflow representations via intent planning, template generation, and error-aware refinement, where each stage incrementally updates a shared structured representation. We evaluate the impact of external knowledge and workflow structuring on generation accuracy, demonstrating that the proposed approach significantly improves complex workflow generation correctness while reducing prompt complexity.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
