Team HEAL achieved second place at the financial time series prediction competition of the EvoCompetitions side event of Evo* 2010. The goal of the competition was to prognose the future values of ten financial time series for a horizon of ten time steps. We used HeuristicLab and genetic programming to create our forecast.

The HeuristicLab developement team is proud to announce the next expansion of the research group. Stefan Vonolfen is joining the team to work on projects in the field of logistic optimization. He has contributed to the upcoming HeuristicLab 3 and is eager to continue working with us. We are very glad to have him on board.

The HeuristicLab team would like to wish everyone a happy new year! By the end of this month we will be starting to release the next major version of HeuristicLab on this website and looking forward to hear about your experience in using HeuristicLab for teaching and about your innovative research results! We would be glad to get to know our users and the great things they are doing with HeuristicLab.
