Numbers will be limited to maximise the advantages in this closely tutored environment. The Summer School aims to: - introduce the principles of evolutionary computing to first time users, and provide advanced problem solving for more experienced researchers - provide a selection of interesting real-life problems and appropriate tools - demonstrate the importance of teamwork, collaboration and pooling resources - provide experience of preparing an academic paper under tight deadlines - emphasise the importance of a good presentation - provide maximum learning from practical, hands-on sessions The programme follows the successful format of last year's highly successful CoIL Summer School. Tutorials will be given at introductory and at more advanced levels by some of the leading evolutionary computing scientists in Europe. Each research senior will also present a problem and outline some possible solutions, and the Summer School participants will be asked to join together in teams of 4 to tackle their preferred problem. Initially the senior who formulated the problem will work with the team(s) choosing that problem to provide more background info, suggestions, pointers etc, advising them but also allowing the team to determine their own solution. By the end of the week, each team will have prepared a draft paper describing their work and the results, and they will give a 20 minute presentation to the other participants. An atmosphere of co-operative learning between the team members was seen as a major benefit of last year's Summer School, and several draft papers prepared by the teams during the week have now been accepted for publication in academic journals and conference proceedings. A member of the team who won the Best Paper Award last year, described his experience, "Last year I worked and sweated for a whole week, talking with people that think like me, and we produced something very quickly. This year I presented that paper at the EuroGP2001 conference. I cannot imagine having spent that particular week in a better way."

I thought it might be of your interest. Moreover, it can be interesting to hearing from the main participants in that discussions 6 years ago about how their views changed (or not) with this 6 years gap. My particular point of view regarding the NFL coincides quite nicely with that of Mr (Dr?) Kihong Park, so I will just point you to that GA-digest volume. thanks, Nat -- __ NATALIO KRASNOGOR Intelligent Computer Systems Centre Research Assistant Faculty of Computer Studies and Mathematics Visiting Lecturer Frenchay Campus, Office 3p30 University of the West of England Tel.: +44 - 0117 - 3443357 Coldarbour Lane Fax.: +44 - 0117 - 3443182 Bristol, BS16 1QY United Kingdom.

We invite researchers interested in chairing one of these workshops to submit workshop proposals. The goal of the workshops is to provide an informal forum for researchers to discuss important research questions and challenges. Controversial issues, open problems, and comparisons of competing approaches are encouraged and preferred as workshop topics. Representation of alternative viewpoints and panel-style discussions are particularly encouraged. Workshop topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Active Learning, Architectural Issues, Attention, Audition, Bayesian Analysis, Bayesian Networks, Benchmarking, Brain Imaging, Computational Complexity, Computational Molecular Biology, Control, Genetic Algorithms, Graphical Models, Hippocampus and Memory, Hybrid Supervised/Unsupervised Learning Methods, Hybrid HMM/ANN Systems, Implementations, Independent Component Analysis, Mean-Field Methods, Markov Chain Monte-Carlo Methods, Music, Network Dynamics, Neural Coding, Neural Plasticity, On-Line Learning, Optimization, Recurrent Nets, Robot Learning, Rule Extraction, Self-Organization, Sensory Biophysics, Signal Processing, Spike Timing, Support Vectors, Speech, Time Series, Topological Maps, and Vision. Detailed descriptions of previous workshops may be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/NIPS/NIPS2000/Workshops There will be six hours of workshop meetings per day, split into morning and afternoon sessions, with free time inbetween for ongoing individual exchange or outdoor activities. Selected workshops may be invited to submit their workshop proceedings for publication as part of a new series of monographs for the post-NIPS workshops. Workshop organizers have several responsibilities including: * Coordinating workshop participation and content, which includes - arranging short informal presentations by experts, - arranging for expert commentators to sit on a discussion panel, - formulating a set of discussion topics, etc. * Moderating the discussion, and reporting its findings and conclusions to the group during evening plenary sessions. * Writing a brief summary and/or coordinating submitted material for post-conference electronic dissemination. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Interested parties should submit a short proposal for a workshop of interest via email by July 8, 2001. Proposals should include title, description of what the workshop is to address and accomplish, proposed workshop length (1 or 2 days), planned format (e.g., lectures, group discussions, panel discussion, combinations of the above, etc.), and proposed speakers. Names of potential invitees should be given where possible. Preference will be given to workshops that reserve a significant portion of time for open discussion or panel discussion, as opposed to pure ``mini-conference'' format. An example format is: * Tutorial lecture providing background and introducing terminology relevant to the topic. * Two short lectures introducing different approaches, alternating with discussions after each lecture. * Discussion or panel presentation. * Short talks or panels alternating with discussion and question/answer sessions. * General discussion and wrap-up. We suggest that organizers allocate at least 50% of the workshop schedule to questions, discussion, and breaks. Past experience suggests that workshops otherwise degrade into mini-conferences as talks begin to run over. For the same reason, we strongly recommend that each workshop include no more than 12 talks. The proposal should motivate why the topic is of interest or controversial, why it should be discussed, and who the targeted group of participants is. It also should include a brief resume of the prospective workshop chair with a list of publications to establish scholarship in the field. We encourage workshops that build, continue, or arise from one or more workshops from previous years. Please mention any such connections. NIPS does not provide travel funding for workshop speakers. In the past, some workshops have sought and received funding from external sources to bring in outside speakers. In addition, the organizers of each accepted workshop can name up to four people (six people for 2-day workshops) to receive free registration for the workshop program. Submissions should include contact name (if there is more than one organizer, please designate one organizer as the ``contact person'') as well as addresses, email addresses, phone and fax numbers for all organizers. Proposals should be emailed as plain text to nips-workshop-proposal@cs.unm.edu. Please do not use attachments, Microsoft Word, postscript, html, or pdf files. Questions may be addressed to nips-workshop-admin@cs.unm.edu. Information about the main conference and the workshop program can be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/NIPS.

Sorry for cross-posting: -- THE SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on PARALLEL PROBLEM SOLVING FROM NATURE PPSN VII Granada, Spain, September 7 - 11, 2002 The Seventh International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN VII) will be held in Granada, Spain, on September 7 - 11, 2002. This meeting will bring together an international community from academia, government, and industry interested in algorithms suggested by the unifying theme of natural computation. Natural computation is a common name for the design, theoretical analysis and empirical understanding of algorithms gleaned from nature. Characteristic of natural computation is the metaphorical use of concepts, principles and mechanisms underlying natural systems. Examples include evolutionary processes involving mutation, recombination, and selection in natural evolution, annealing or punctuated equilibrium processes of many-particle systems in physics, growth processes in nature and economics, collective intelligence in biology, DNA-based computing in molecular chemistry, and multi-cellular behavioral processes in neural and immune networks. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original research results related to natural computation by February 22, 2002.
