It is explored how the completeness principle split into two successful forms: watermarks and snapshot-consistent refresh (where streams stay visible) and snapshot-consistent refresh (where they do not), and why the latter reached far more users by asking far less of them, and generalize the former into declared constraints on change.
In production, agentic systems answer questions over data that lives in several places and keeps changing: licenses are reassigned, users offboarded, prices changed, contracts renewed. Existing retrieval benchmarks freeze the data, so they cannot ask whether an agent's answer is still true, only whether it found the ri...

Fugue is a novel, self-contained reactive protocol that provides seamless and resource-efficient elasticity and reaches comparable handover performance while avoiding continuous replication overhead, and is implemented in Apache Flink.

Per-server prompt engineering is therefore a workaround rather than a fix; it is argued that MCP host applications should provide an explicit mechanism that places server instructions ahead of tool selection in the client LLM's deliberation.

This work shows how higher-order combinators solve higher-order problems of asynchronous calls to a network service, database, or language model uniformly, including timeouts, retries, rate limiting, caching, reentrant locking, and cancellation.
The challenges of the restoration-recomputation trade-off are investigated and its impact on inference performance when left unaddressed, and an I/O-aware KV-cache management policy is presented that dynamically navigates this trade-off.
