Abstract

The various modifications and extensions of the anticipatory classifier system (ACS) recently led to the introduction of ACS2, an enhanced and modified version of ACS. This chapter provides an overview over the system including all parameters as well as framework, structure, and environmental interaction. Moreover, a precise description of all algorithms in ACS2 is provided.
