Abstract
Multi-agent software systems can be modelled as complex dynamic systems in which agent adaptation and interaction occur continuously and concurrently. A genetics-inspired view has interaction occurring via exchange of agent c haracteristics encoded as genes, plus measures of success. An economics-ins pired view has agent adaptation driven by changes in prices and supply and demand. This paper describes work towards a synergistic combination of thes e views.
