I just found out that Hans-Paul Schwefel, one of the evolutionary computation pioneers, is going to give a talk at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2009) in Montreal, Canada (July 8-12, 2009). The talk will be part of the Learning from Failures in Evolutionary Computation (LFFEC) Workshop.
The title of the talk is failures [...]

Marcelo De Brito of Genetic Argonaut reports on the genetic algorithm implementation of a genetic algorithm on a Playstation PSP. The implementation is called Pyevolve. More can be found here.

The simulated car racing competition organized at GECCO-2009 is part of the 2009 Simulated Car Racing Championship, an event joining the three competitions held at CEC-2009, GECCO-2009, and CIG-2009. Pier Luca Lanzi reports on the first contest in this competition (Contest 1: Learning to Drive) here. The deadline for the submissions to this contest [...]
