Problem
Genetic programming is a powerful method for supporting self-adaptation
in software agents. Unfortunately, GP typically amounts to an exhaustive
search of the design space. An alternative method for building self-adaptive
software agents is to endow them with a meta-model of their own knowledge,
reasoning and architecture.
Students will first read relevant papers and then design a simple software
agent (e.g., a fax machine agent, a webpage agent) capable of adapting
itself as its requirements evolve.
