Multi-agent AI framework for cloud operations

A joint research effort between the IIITH and cloud automation startup MontyCloud led to a breakthrough in multi-agent AI architecture. The work, aimed at improving cloud operations, has been shortlisted for the best paper award at the prestigious International Conference CAIN-2025. It’s based on the Meta Orchestrator of Your Agents (MOYA), which enables multiple AI agents to collaborate on cloud management tasks. Unlike traditional models that rely on a single large language model (LLM), MOYA distributes responsibilities among specialised agents, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency. Managing cloud operations involves handling vast amounts of data, automating workflows and ensuring compliance with security and performance standards. IIITH’s Software Architecture for Sustainability (SA4S) group, led by Prof. Karthik V, initially developed a conversational AI copilot named Marvin to assist users with cloud tasks.

Digital twin for water utility network

Water is one of the most precious resources in urban areas, yet a significant amount is wasted due to leakages, inefficient distribution, and excessive usage. To tackle this issue, Smart Living Lab has developed a Digital Twin for water utility networks which digitally represents a physical item or assembly using integrated simulations and service data. The digital representation holds information from multiple sources across the product life cycle. This information is continuously updated and visualised in various ways to predict current and future conditions in both design and operational environments to enhance decision-making. The Digital Twin is best described as the effortless integration of data between a physical and virtual machine in either. In general, many smart city deployments have become expensive and large as there are no platforms to evaluate the plan and the requirements before actual deployment.

Prof. P J Narayanan’s interview with DataQuest

Indian academic corridors are standing between two atriums. On the one hand, some struggle with concerns on integrity in academic research (Whether in publications or
corporate projects).. On the other hand, some are driving front-runner work in drug discovery, cancer imaging, clinical research, road safety and environmental impact. Let’s find out where India is heading as we enter the Sophomore level in AI. It is very sad and unfortunate for India to get such notoriety with respect to academic honesty. We must establish models and incentives that promote honest work and just rewards. The regulatory mechanism insists on doctoral degrees for all faculty in all kinds of institutions. Good understanding and teaching abilities must suffice to do well in teaching institutions that form the bulk of our higher education institutions. Everyone wants a PhD despite their own aspirations or guidance available.
