This paper reports ongoing efforts in developing a Knowledge Discovery and Predictive Data Mining (KD & PDM) system at ANSER as part of an National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant to locate missing and exploited children. The here in described system represents a first pilot project for exploring the general use of Evolutionary Agent Societies (EAS). EAS seeks to expand current efforts in IT software development, deployment, and maintenance by addressing such important factors as reliability, scalability, and adaptability of intelligent software.
