Hi everyone, I have my own impressions from CEC at:
http://togelius.blogspot.com/2007/10/cec-2007-conference-report.html
A special session on co-evolution is certainly a good idea - I would
definitely try to attend, whether I would submit anything depends on
what directions my research will take after I start at IDSIA.
