"According to DARPA’s proposal solicitation, the work will be split into the discovery and transformation abilities of a BRASS program. The discovery function would allow a program to scan its ecosystem—the hardware it interfaces with, the resources it relies on, the protocols it and other programs use to communicate, as well as the software it works with—and detect changes. The transformation component would allow it to morph itself and adapt."
