During the IMMM 2011 a tutorial on "System Identification and Data Mining with HeuristicLab" was held by Andreas Scheibenpflug and Michael Kommenda. In particular, they showed how to

• generally work with HeuristicLab
• setup and analyze large scale optimization experiments
• perform regression and classification analysis and
• avoid overfitting during the modeling phase.

The slides to this tutorial should be available on the conference homepage soon.
