EDGE: Engine for Deterministic Graph Evaluation through Conversation Simulation from Graph Structured DSL Configuration

As agentic systems evolve into complex multi agent orchestration workflows, there is a growing and critical need for systematic frameworks that measures an agent's behavioral consistency and determinism. In this paper, we introduce a formal evaluation methodology that is grounded in AgentGraph, a planner powered by a domain specific language that represents agent reasoning through a dynamically adjustable directed graph. We leverage this structural formalism and utilize graph traversal algorithms that exhaustively enumerate conversational paths, forming a comprehensive evaluation set that captures the agent's complete behavioral space. We then systematically replay these reproducible trajectories to compare observed outputs and state transitions against the intended DSL specification. To quantify reliability, we define novel metrics that measure response and trajectory determinism, structural adherence and semantic consistency across both exact replays and their linguistic variants. Our system's results demonstrate that agents configured using frameworks like AgentGraph and LangGraph with explicitly structured node transitions show superior determinism over agents that are not configured with controlled transitions.

AkasicDB: Demonstrating Omni RAG with a Unified Vector-Graph-Relational DBMS

Recent Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems increasingly combine vector retrieval with structured knowledge, such as Graph RAG and Filtered vector search. However, existing database architectures struggle to support such complex RAG workflows efficiently, as they rely on out-of-DB pipelines or in-DB non-native integration, leading to high overhead. This demo paper presents AkasicDB, a database system that natively supports such RAG workflows by jointly executing vector similarity search, graph traversal, and relational filtering within a single execution framework. AkasicDB extends our prior work, Chimera, with native vector support to enable such unified execution. Based on AkasicDB, we demonstrate the first native integration of Vector-Graph-Relational RAG, which we refer to as Omni RAG. Through an interactive chat-style demonstration, users execute and visualize Omni RAG queries, directly experiencing its superior retrieval and reasoning over vector-only approaches while observing the practical limitations of existing database architectures in supporting Omni RAG.

VDGR-RAG: Vectors, Directories, Graphs, and Reflection Are All You Need for Unified Reasoning over Hierarchical Enterprise Knowledge

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is essential for enterprise knowledge question answering (QA), particularly in domains with complex product documentation like telecommunications. However, existing RAG approaches largely overlook the holistic integration of diverse retrieval strengths, leading to inaccurate domain routing, poor utilization of hierarchical document structures, and consequently limited reasoning capabilities over enterprise knowledge. To address these limitations, we present VDGR-RAG, which integrates vector retrieval, directory-driven reasoning, graph traversal, and iterative reflection in a unified framework for accurate enterprise knowledge QA. Specifically, VDGR-RAG is an agentic GraphRAG system that first constructs a Hierarchical Heterogeneous Knowledge Graph ($\text{H}^2$KG) from document chunks to preserve both hierarchical directory structures and semantic relationships, and then employs a set of atomic tools for knowledge retrieval that can be freely composed to navigate the $\text{H}^2$KG: (1) a directory-enhanced routing tool that uses table-of-contents (TOC) structures to route user queries to appropriate domain-specific $\text{H}^2$KGs; (2) a multi-route retrieval tool that combines vector search, TOC-based agentic search, and graph search for comprehensive knowledge retrieval; (3) a directory backtracking tool that corrects knowledge localization biases; and (4) a dynamic reflection tool that iteratively plans the next retrieval phase. We conduct extensive experiments on our enterprise product documents across four wireless domains (e.g., energy saving and fault management). Experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms a variety of RAG baselines in terms of both knowledge retrieval recall and QA accuracy.
