Adaptation Aspects of AIDA Programs

Algorithmic Transparency of Large-Scale *AIDA Programs

“…The generic/compound pictures and their series are developed and acquired in special open type galleries where supportive pictures of embedded clarity annotations are also included. Various features and the applicability of the approach for di®erent types of applications can be found in [7][8][9][10][11]. Among these features we would like to emphasize that software components as information resources are applied not only for generating code but also for explaining application algorithms and related models, and that pictures as super-characters (which combine the simplicity and expressiveness of visual and text forms) are applied within text-type expressions.…”

“…We consider this testbed to be a very appropriate foundation for dealing with the challenges mentioned above. To date, *AIDA programs have been promoted as new types of educational materials, for solving the Building Resource Adaptive Software Systems (BRASS) problems of a DARPA initiative aimed at creating long-lived, survivable, and adaptive software systems, as well as for developing compact and reliable software and the like [8][9][10][11]. Although the usefulness of *AIDA and its environment have been tested numerous times in various case studies, most of those previous studies were related to fundamental algorithms and small-scale simulations with a limited number of application functions, operators, and variables involved.…”
