DreamGuard: Efficient Runtime Guardrail for LLM Agents via Risk-Aware World Model

arXiv:2608. 05695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language model (LLM) agents increasingly invoke external tools and interact with real-world systems, unsafe actions may cause irreversible consequences on external states, user data, and downstream services.

When Agentic AI Meets Integrated Sensing and Communication

arXiv:2608. 05792v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) from a function-oriented physical-layer technology into a goal-driven, closed-loop intelligent system, a paradigm we term AISAC.

ASTELD: A Six-Axis Classification Framework for Autonomous AI Agents - Design, Evaluation, and an OpenClaw Case Study

arXiv:2608. 05201v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous AI agent platforms differ substantially in architecture, security, tool integration, execution, autonomy, and deployment, yet the field lacks a common classification scheme for comparing these design choices.

Vibe Compiler: A Research-Logic Synthesis Tool That Runs without Prompt Engineering -Toward Enhancing Metacognition for Sustaining Agency in the Age of Generative AI-

arXiv:2608. 05545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI used as a capable servant has greatly accelerated intellectual work, but it also risks eroding human epistemic agency by encouraging uncritical acceptance of AI-generated reasoning.

Search-Aided Joint Agent-Environment Reinforcement Learning for Robust Lifelong Multi-Agent Path Finding with Rotations

arXiv:2608. 05588v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lifelong Multi-Agent Path Finding (LMAPF) requires repeatedly planning collision-free paths for agents that continuously receive new goals upon reaching their current ones.

When Self-Evolution Backfires: Pre-Commit Gating against Skill Contamination in LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 05810v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving agents accumulate capability by distilling reusable skills from their execution trajectories, but we find this process is not monotonic: past a critical pool size, newly added skills degrade performance instead of improving it.

Enhancing Anomaly Resilience in Research Networks: A Large-Scale Forecasting Benchmark for Dynamic Security Baselining

arXiv:2608. 05605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Research and Education Networks (RENs) serve as critical infrastructure for scientific discovery, yet they face a unique security paradox: their normal traffic patterns which are characterized by massive, bursty "elephant flows" are statistically indistinguishable from volumetric attacks such as DDoS to conventional monitoring systems.

Role Steering of Language Models for Social Simulations

arXiv:2608. 00023v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Social simulations built from language-model agents need role-conditioned behavior that can be checked before agents are placed into a simulated population.

Adaptive Arena-based Contestable Argumentative Network-of-Experts for Open-Ended Care Plan Coordination

arXiv:2608. 05391v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Care plan coordination demands synthesizing heterogeneous clinical, functional, and psychosocial information across multiple professional disciplines, where monolithic LLM pipelines cannot perform in a transparent or safe manner.
