Stefan Wagner is staying in Sydney, Australia as guest professor. He will give some talks at the University of Technology, Sydney, as well as meet with Zenon Chaczko, a renowned software engineer and professor at the university.
The article AbYSS: Adapting Scatter Search to Multiobjective Optimization has been published in IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, Volume 12 Issue 4 2008. It is a joint contribution of Antonio Nebro, Francisco Luna, Enrique Alba, Bernabé Dorronsoro, Juan Durillo from the University of Málaga and our Andreas Beham. The reference can be found, e.g. on the publication page.
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]).
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).
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.
