abstract = "Brian Arthur's `El Farol Bar' model is extended so
that the agents also learn and communicate. The
learning and communication is implemented using an
evolutionary process acting upon a population of mental
models inside each agent. The evolutionary process is
based on a Genetic Programming algorithm. Each gene is
composed of two tree-structures: one to control its
action and one to determine its communication. A
detailed case-study from the simulations show how the
agents have differentiated so that by the end of the
run they had taken on very different roles. Thus the
introduction of a flexible learning process and an
expressive internal representation has allowed the
emergence of heterogeneity.
