Multi-type, Self-adaptive Genetic Programming as an Agent Creation Tool

This paper describes the application of multitype, self-adaptive genetic programming techniques, implemented in the PushGP and Pushpop systems, to the automatic programming of multi-agent systems. It includes a brief case study of the application of PushGP to a transport network control problem and a demonstration of self-adaptive modularization in a dynamic environment that was developed by Van Belle and Ackley.
