Abstract
Organic Computing (OC) is an upcoming research area with strong relationships to the ideas and concepts of agent-based systems. Therefore, in this paper we will have a closer look at agent systems, organic computing systems (as well as autonomic computing systems) and state commonalities and examine divergences between them. We then propose a common view on these technologies and show how they can benefit from each other with regard to software engineering (SE).
