Summary:This paper describes a project funded by the European Commission
which seeks to provide the technology and software infrastructure
necessary to support the next generation of evolving infohabitants in a
way that makes that infrastructure universal, open and scalable. The
Distributed Resource Evolutionary Algorithm Machine (DREAM) will use
existing hardware infrastructure in a more efficient manner, by
utilising otherwise unused CPU time. It will allow infohabitants to
co-operate, communicate, negotiate and trade; and emergent behaviour is
expected to result. It is expected that there will be an emergent
economy that results from the provision and use of CPU cycles by
infohabitants and their owners. The DREAM infrastructure will be
evaluated with new work on distributed data mining, distributed
scheduling and the modelling of economic and social behaviour
