We are happy to announce the release of HeuristicLab 3.3.16, which is named after the location of this year's Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) in Prague, Czech Republic.

We would like to congratulate our colleague Andreas Beham who successfully defended his PhD thesis!

As before in the past after major events, such as conferences, held in Central Europe, fellow research colleagues once again used the opportunity to visit us at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Hagenberg.

This time we were happy to welcome Prof. Eugene Semenkin and Prof. Nic McPhee - two renowned researches in the field of evolutionary algorithms and artificial intelligence - on neutral austrian soil;)
