  1. Teleological Reasoning in Adaptive Software DesignAshok K. Goel & Spencer RugaberGeorgia Institute of TechnologyNSF SoD-Team Award # 0613744 We believe that future software agents will evolve by adapting their designs to new goals and environments. We are investigating the role of teleological models of software agents in reasoning about their designs and enablingdesign adaptations in multiplayer strategy games such as FreeCiv (screen shot is shown on the right). In particular, we seek to (1) characterize the modes of software evolution, (2) understand how teleological models can be used to reason about adaptations, and (3) use insights from the above to develop interactive tools that facilitate software adaptations by partially automating required modifications, and by providing assistance in the form of recommendations to software engineers. In this project that started in November 2006, we have so far analyzed and classified over three hundred modifications to game-playing software agents from the FreeCiv source code repository. We have also composed usage scenarios for an interactive tool intended to support the making of various types of modifications. • Adapt to a world without guns? • What happens when diplomacy breaks down? • "Guns or butter"?
