Computation in the Wild: Moving Beyond the Metaphor

Abstract

This report presents an overview of the research performed and technical results of the "Computation in the Wild: Moving Beyond the Metaphor" project, which was part of the DARPA TASK program. The work was performed between September 2000 and September 2005, at the Department of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico. The goal of the work was to demonstrate concrete examples and develop theoretical models of the metaphor of biology in computation. During the course of the project, significant progress was made in several principal areas, including: Developing homeostatic operating systems, software genetics, modeling agent behavior, information immune systems, and automated diversity. This report describes our research results in each of those areas.
