Abstract

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-conference proceedings of two consecutive International Workshops on Learning Classifier Systems that took place in Seattle, WA, USA in July 2006, and in London, UK, in July 2007 – all hosted by the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from the workshop contributions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge representation, analysis of the system, mechanisms, new directions, as well as applications.

Advances at the frontier of LCS: LNCS 4399

“Advances at the frontier of Learning Classifier Systems” has been shipped to Springer for the final stages of editing and printing. The volume is going to be printed as Springer’s LNCS 4399 volume. When we started editing this volume, we faced the choice of organizing the contents in a purely chronological fashion or as a sequence of related topics that help walk the reader across the different areas. In the end we decided to organize the contents by area, breaking a little the time-line. This was not a simple endeavor as we could organize the material using multiple criteria. The taxonomy below is our humble effort to provide a coherent grouping. Needless to say, some works may fall in more than one category. Below, you may find the tentative table of contents of the volume. It may change a little bit, but we will keep you posted as soon as we learn from Springer.

Advances at the frontier of LCS (Volume I) is coming

The final editing of the volume Advances at the frontier of LCS to be published by Springer is advancing at steady pace. The volume is going to be an overview of the research LCS and other GBML presented at IWLCS. The volume will cover 2003, 2004, and 2005 contributions.

So far, these are the raw numbers for 2003 and 2004 contributions:

  • 2003: 11 chapters by 26 different authors
  • 2004: 8 chapters by 15 different authors

The decisions about 2005 will be out soon. We will keep you posted
