In the search for the primary roots of autonomy (a pivotal concept in Varela's comprehensive understanding of living beings), the theory of autopoiesis provided an explicit cr...
A live algorithm describes an ideal autonomous performance system able to engage in performance with abilities analogous, if not identical, to a human musician. This paper proposes...
In most contexts, learning is essential for the long-term autonomy of an agent. We describes here some essential and fundamental learning mechanisms implemented in a cognitive auto...

In this paper we argue that self-modifying code can become a better strategy for realizing long-lived autonomous software systems than static code, regardless how well it was valid...
The development of autonomous multi-agent systems acting upon the interests of one or more users involves the elicitation of preferences of these users. In decision theory, models...
