Optimization by Building and Using Probabilistic Models

I want to thank all the participants as well as those that attended OBUPM-2008. All of the presentations went very well and there was great participation from the audience. In particular I would like to thank my fellow organizers Martin Pelikan and Kumara Sastry. Without them this would never have happened. Thanks also to the workshop chair Marc Ebner. I hope to see you all again at GECCO-2009!

Embedded below are four of the presentations. When the last one becomes available I will put it up also. The files are also available for download here.

The website for Optimization by building and using Probabilistic Models (OBUPM) , a workshop at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference is now up!

Let us know what you think.
