Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 428))

Abstract

Classifier systems can be used to model agents that learn to model their own worlds. These agents can build up linked chains of actions that culminate in reward and can even develop the capacity to plan future actions on the basis of expectations of consequences.
