Abstract :
AdAM (Adaptive Architecture Methodology) is a hardware evolutionary system making electronic circuits autonomously acquire required functionalities. Among the systems aiming for this same goal, this system is unique in building up a system-oriented methodology rather than a device-oriented technique; AdAM is designed to be a high-level behavior-oriented evolutionary system framework with an extremely high operation/evolution speed. This paper overviews the architecture of the AdAM system and investigates the methodology used in the system. Some research projects based on AdAM are also presented
