industry to discuss recent advances and explore future directions in

No coevolution track at GECCO next year

p...@tesseract.org (R. Paul Wiegand) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:45:07 UT

FYI: Because the submissions to the coevolution track at GECCO have
gradually decreased (and were especially low this year), GECCO has
dropped the track ... at least for the time being.

When I spoke with Franz Rothlauf (chair for GECCO 2009) about this, he
pointed out the steady decline, which surprised me. Every year, I

Coevolution as game tree search

dr...@lclark.edu (Peter Drake) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:18:21 UT

Greetings, everyone.
My research group is exploring coevolution as game tree search,
specifically for the game of Go. We are aware of many attempt to use
genetic algorithms to evolve players or board evaluators over the
course of many games, but we are trying to use coevolution to find
the best move (or at least a good move) during the course of a single

WCCI

Hi everyone

Would anyone be interested in getting together at WCCI to discuss
life, co-evolution, and this group?

cheers, phi

Task force chair

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 05:17:06 UT

Dear all

I have been invited to continue as task force chair for 2008.

If anyone would like to take on the role, perhaps you could email me
privately (p.hings...@ecu.edu.au). While I'm happy to continue in the
role, some of you are closer to the pulse than me and if you are
motivated, would stand a better chance of being effective, I feel.

Book Chapter

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:09:03 UT

Hi everyone

I have been invited to contribute a co-evolution chapter to an
upcoming book (well anyway to submit a proposal for one), "Nature-
Inspired Informatics for Intelligent Applications and Knowledge
Discovery: Implications in Business, Science and Engineering". I feel
uneasy about representing myself as an expert on co-evolution. I

fitness for coevolution

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:27:21 UT

Hi all

We have discussed this topic before, but I have been thinking about a
specific application lately which I think provides a different
perspective on the question. I thought I'd ask what you all think.

The question is: what is the "correct" fitness function for co-
evolution?

CEC report

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 01:31:30 UT

Hi everyone
I thought I would post a brief report on the recent CEC in Singapore.
It's brief because, unfortunately, I got a stomach bug early on in the
conference and had to spend the rest of the time close to my bathroom.
So I didn't get to many talks and missed out on catching up with lots
of people. If anyone else was there, maybe you could fill in some

SSCI Symposium/Workshop

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 00:20:07 UT

Hi everyone
I have received the following suggestion from Vin Piuri:
"in 2009 I will lead a proposal for organizing the Symposium Series on
Computational Inteligence, sponsored by IEEE CIS, as David Fogel did
in 2007 in the Hawaii.
We are considering various locations in the east coast of the USA
about in March-April 2009. We will finalize the choice soon.

Discussing the idea of a special issue on CoEC

p...@tesseract.org (R. Paul Wiegand) — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:49:40 UT

I am reluctant to take up another service project, as I already have
my hands full with FOGA ... and that's over a year away. But *AM*
interested in discussing the idea of a special issue, even if I am not
willing to edit it. 8^)
Whenever someone mentions the possibility of a special issue, I
immediately think: Do I have anything to submit to such an issue?

GECCO Discussion on Coevolution Task Force

p...@tesseract.org (R. Paul Wiegand) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 11:28:52 UT

GECCO REPORT
As readers of this forum know, I attempted to collect a group of
people to discuss some of the issues raised in a recent thread on this
website about the Coevolution Task Force itself. This attempt was
only marginally successful: Despite the post here and on the GECCO
wiki, interest in such a discussion was modest.

TF report

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:53:10 UT

Dear Colleagues
I have been asked by Ali Zalzala of ECTC for this
"It is now the time when I ask you to provide me with your TF
activities for the last six months. Please make sure you include the
list given in items 1-4 of my email dates 3 June 2007 (no worries, a
copy is attached herewith!)
I do appreciate you must be very busy this time of year, but please

More on Task Forces

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 01:38:53 UT

I thought I would pass on this advice about task forces, FYI
"The purpose of task force (TF) is to build an active and healthy
infrastructure to promote specific well-focused topical areas within
EC to ensure continuing growth and vitality of the CIS. The Chair of
each TF is recruited by the Chair of ECTC and serves for one-year

We are now a task force

philiphings...@gmail.com (phi) — Sat, 19 May 2007 02:36:18 UT

Dear colleagues
FYI, I recently received the advice below. Accordingly, I've changed
our description to "task force".
This got me thinking - "task force" sounds somehow more dynamic than
"working group". What do you all think about ramping up our
activities? A quick search on google shows up a GECCO workshop in 2002

AAAI-07 Video Competition

p...@tesseract.org (R. Paul Wiegand) — Mon, 14 May 2007 15:26:50 UT

AAAI solicits submissions for a new online video competition. The goal
of this competition is to communicate to the World how much fun AI
(research and application) is and, in particular, to document exciting
research and applications using artificial intelligence. The rules are
simple: Compose a short video about an exciting AI project, and

Cost of Coevolutionary Algorithms

abu...@gmail.com (abucci) — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 15:53:45 UT

I've been thinking about assessing the cost of a coevolutionary
algorithm. I think that the lack of an explicit objective function
makes cost assessment tricky in different way from the ordinary issues
surrounding assessing cost in EC. I was hoping we could get some list
of references started and some discussion on
