Abstract

Growing complexity of software systems leads some researchers to explore new paradigms like self-organization and genetic programming. We regard this problem as a new occurrence of a need that has been partially solved in the past with the introduction of object-orientation whose most innovative feature can probably be agreed to be inheritance. In this work, the authors propose a different approach for solving the initially discussed process. The definition of a new "nature-inspired" inheritance is discussed. Agents according to this approach can reproduce by mixing their genome and generate new agents that can better fit a specific problem.
