Session description (100-200 words)
This special session deals with the problems of Distributed Adaptive Systems. Adaptability is a common and typical property for natural systems in the real world. It is also an important and desirable property for computer supported artificial distributed intelligent systems. A distributed adaptive system can be viewed as a set of interacting intelligent agents, real or abstract, forming an integrated system that is able to respond to internal and environmental external changes. Feedback is a key feature of adaptive systems, enabling the responses to changes. Artificial systems can be made adaptive using feedback to sense new conditions in the environment and adapt accordingly. Distributed adaptive systems can find applications in almost all industrial sectors, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
The goal is to offer a forum of researchers and practitioners in related topics to interact and share their recent research results.
