Abstract

Since Open Computational Systems are complex anddynamic structures with a great (but unknown) number ofautonomous interacting entities, designers face up to adifficult problem: how can they completely specify suchsystems?We call Living Design the biologically inspiredsolution we expound here and which consists of theobservation and manipulation during the design phase ofthe system being built as it "lives".More formally, in termsof design methodology, we propose an Object-AgentOverlapping Processes Shifting which is an extension andmodification of the classical design phases.This is to berealized in our work-in-progress Adaptive Multi-agentSystem methodology called ADELFE, which is centered onthe AMAS theory also briefly expounded here.
