An evolutionary system for the Sc@ut platform

Abstract

The Sc@ut platform is a series of tools for creating augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. This platform is based on a two-level architecture: the communicator and the meta-communicator. The meta-communicator is used by designers (usually the child's educators or parents) to create and adapt the communicator. The communicator is used by a person with disabilities (normally a child) who interacts with it in order to communicate. In this paper, we will propose the addition of a new system to help designers and which provides the platform with automatic evolution and adaptation.
