Abstract
Emergence is a phenomenon that a set of agents which obeying with simple rules locally generates interpretive global structures, which is not predictable from these rules. In the context of engineering design, concept of emergence is often referred to as generator of striking designs, which are new and innovative. In this paper, a research made by authors will be argued. First past research results are reviewed briefly followed by its one of expected application example: electronic sketchbook. Although it is just a conceptual proposal and doesn't have real substance, it is a nice example of showing flexibility and plasticity of computation system of emergence. Next, a crucial issue of calculation scheme defined by the past research will be stated and future research plan that resolve the issue will be considered. It will be argued that a lack of capability considering dynamic behaviors among agents in the current scheme is seemed to be source of less-performance for generating novel solutions, which commonly expected. And plan of introducing a co-evolution mechanism into current scheme will be considered. In the co-evolution model, current static Euler description of field will be coupled with a dynamic Lagrangian system of agents, and this will be further flexibility and dynamic behavior of computation. Finally, brief conclusion summarizes this paper.
