• Abstract: In this extended abstract, we propose a novel research topic in the field of agentic AI, which we refer to as self-coding information systems. These systems will be able to dynamically adapt their structure or behavior by evaluating potential adaptation decisions, generate source code, test, and (re)deploy their source code autonomously, at runtime, reducing the time to market of new features. Here we motivate the topic, provide a formal definition of self-coding information systems, discuss some expected impacts of the new technology, and indicate potential research directions.

  Reuse is a common system architecture approach that seeks to instantiate a system architecture with existing components. There is currently no framework that guides the selection of necessary information to assess their portability to operate in a system different than the one for which the component was originally purposed. We present ongoing work on establishing an interface description template that captures the main information of an AI-enabled component.

  We instantiate the concept of structure of scientific explanation as the theoretical underpinning for a general framework in which explanations for AI systems can be implemented. This framework aims to provide the tools to build a "mental-model" of any AI system so that the interaction with the user can provide information on demand and be closer to the nature of human-made explanations.
