SPOQ: Specialist Orchestrated Queuing for Multi-Agent Software EngineeringRoyce Carbowitz, Dheeraj Kumar
Multi-agent AI systems show promise for automating software engineering tasks, yet existing approaches suffer from coordination overhead, quality control gaps, and limited human oversight. We introduce SPOQ (Specialist Orchestrated Queuing), a methodology combining three innovations: (1) wave-based topological dispatch that computes parallel execution waves from task dependency graphs; (2) dual validation gates applying quality metrics before execution (planning validation) and after (code validation) to reduce rework cycles; and (3) Human-as-an-Agent (HaaA) integration, where a human specialist participates in decomposition and can be consulted during execution. SPOQ uses a three-tier agent hierarchy (Opus workers, Sonnet reviewers, Haiku investigators) to optimize cost-quality tradeoffs. We evaluate SPOQ through four experiments. Experiment 1: wave dispatch approaches the critical-path lower bound (ratio 1.03--1.11, speedup up to 14.3x); on a 2-slot local backend it delivers a stable 1.4x speedup. Experiment 2: SPOQ improves planning coverage from 93.0 to 99.75, eliminates cyclic plans, and lifts parallelism from 31.0 to 75.25. Experiment 3: dual validation reduces defects from 0.34 to 0.20 per task and lifts test pass rate from 91.25% to 99.75%. Experiment 4: human review reduces residual defects from 0.47 to 0.03 per task. Results are replicated on a locally hosted open-weights model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B), verifying gains are attributable to orchestration rather than any specific model. A longitudinal study across 17 repositories, 8,589 commits, 1,822 tasks, and 13,866 tests (99.87% pass rate) provides ecological validation.

A Hybrid MLP-SVM Model for Classification using Spatial-Spectral Features on Hyper-Spectral ImagesGinni Garg, Dheeraj Kumar, ArvinderPal et al.
There are many challenges in the classification of hyper spectral images such as large dimensionality, scarcity of labeled data and spatial variability of spectral signatures. In this proposed method, we make a hybrid classifier (MLP-SVM) using multilayer perceptron (MLP) and support vector machine (SVM) which aimed to improve the various classification parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, f-score and to predict the region without ground truth. In proposed method, outputs from the last hidden layer of the neural net-ork become the input to the SVM, which finally classifies into various desired classes. In the present study, we worked on Indian Pines, U. Pavia and Salinas dataset with 16, 9, 16 classes and 200, 103 and 204 reflectance bands respectively, which is provided by AVIRIS and ROSIS sensor of NASA Jet propulsion laboratory. The proposed method significantly increases the accuracy on testing dataset to 93.22%, 96.87%, 93.81% as compare to 86.97%, 88.58%, 88.85% and 91.61%, 96.20%, 90.68% based on individual classifiers SVM and MLP on Indian Pines, U. Pavia and Salinas datasets respectively.

A Scalable Framework for Trajectory PredictionPunit Rathore, Dheeraj Kumar, Sutharshan Rajasegarar et al.
Trajectory prediction (TP) is of great importance for a wide range of location-based applications in intelligent transport systems such as location-based advertising, route planning, traffic management, and early warning systems. In the last few years, the widespread use of GPS navigation systems and wireless communication technology enabled vehicles has resulted in huge volumes of trajectory data. The task of utilizing this data employing spatio-temporal techniques for trajectory prediction in an efficient and accurate manner is an ongoing research problem. Existing TP approaches are limited to short-term predictions. Moreover, they cannot handle a large volume of trajectory data for long-term prediction. To address these limitations, we propose a scalable clustering and Markov chain based hybrid framework, called Traj-clusiVAT-based TP, for both short-term and long-term trajectory prediction, which can handle a large number of overlapping trajectories in a dense road network. Traj-clusiVAT can also determine the number of clusters, which represent different movement behaviours in input trajectory data. In our experiments, we compare our proposed approach with a mixed Markov model (MMM)-based scheme, and a trajectory clustering, NETSCAN-based TP method for both short- and long-term trajectory predictions. We performed our experiments on two real, vehicle trajectory datasets, including a large-scale trajectory dataset consisting of 3.28 million trajectories obtained from 15,061 taxis in Singapore over a period of one month. Experimental results on two real trajectory datasets show that our proposed approach outperforms the existing approaches in terms of both short- and long-term prediction performances, based on prediction accuracy and distance error (in km).
