Our colleague Gabriel Kronberger is currently in Hamburg, Germany, to present the paper "On the Effects of Enhanced Selection Models on Quality and Comparability of Classifiers Produced by Genetic Programming" at the 32nd Annual Conference of the German Classification Society (GfKl 2008).

Stephan Winkler attended the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2008) in Atlanta, Georgia, this week to present his contribution Fine-Grained Population Diversity Estimation for Genetic Programming Based Structure Identification (which is available as poster [pdf, 3.2 MB]).

The HeuristicLab development team proudly announces that our joint proposal for a Josef Ressel Centre for Heuristic Optimization (Heureka!) has been accepted for funding by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG). Heureka! is among the three first research laboratories for universities of applied sciences in Austria and will start in fall 2008.
