With just a week to go until the GECCO 2011 conference, we would like to remind you that Stefan Wagner and Gabriel Kronberger will hold a HeuristicLab Tutorial there. In particular, they will show how to

• parameterize and execute evolutionary algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems (traveling salesman, vehicle routing) as well as data analysis problems (regression, classification).
• model custom optimization algorithms in the graphical algorithm designer.
• setup a large scale optimization experiment and execute such experiments on multi‐core or cluster systems.
• inspect executed test runs with HeuristicLab’s interactive charts for visual and statistical
• analysis.
• extend HeuristicLab with your own problems or algorithms.

If you are attending GECCO it would be great to meet up!
