Abstract :
A framework in which a group of objects collaborating with each other evolve their functions dynamically is presented in this paper. We call the framework evolutional cooperative computation and present an environment-adaptive computation model for its foundation. Then, a programming language Epsilon/0, which supports the computation model and has the reflection mechanism, is presented. In this paper, the concept of environments that give objects collaboration fields is introduced. An object evolves itself and changes relations among other objects by adapting itself to environments or seceding from environments
