  abstract =     "The temperature profile across an object is easy to
                 compute by iterative methods. The time spent waiting
                 for iterative solutions to converge for multiple
                 objects in a complex configuration is an impediment to
                 exploratory analysis of engineering systems. A rapidly
                 computed initial guess can speed convergence for an
                 iterative thermal solver. We describe and test a system
                 for creating thermal agents that supply such initial
                 guesses. Thermal agents are specific to an object
                 geometry but general across different thermal boundary
                 conditions. During an off-line training phase, genetic
                 programming is used to locate a thermal agent by
                 training on one or more sets of boundary conditions. In
                 use, thermal agents transform boundary conditions into
                 a rapidly converged set of initial values on a cellular
                 decomposition of an object.",
