Position: Multi-Agent Systems Should Prioritize Concurrency Control
A position paper on arXiv argues that reliability failures in LLM-based multi-agent systems stem not from coordination or communication flaws, but from classical concurrency control problems — and calls for concurrency mechanisms to be treated as foundational design requirements.
