Abstract

Conventional adaptive systems have common well-known constraints when attempting to normalize environment. An adaptive system must contain a certain number of rules allowing such a system to adapt to specific situations. If there is an absence of a rule in a new situation, the system cannot take appropriate action. Building and managing such complex static adaptive systems places an enormous burden on system developers. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent based intelligent adaptive system with a self-growing engine. In this system, the inference agent evaluates input context with specific factors and analyzes the results. The decision agent selects the most appropriate action among alternatives available for a specific context and intelligently evolves and adapts by means of a self-growing engine (SGE). The SGE can evaluate actions and generate new rules by applying it to a practical situation using remote video conferencing with mobile devices such as PDAs, and PCs.
