Genetic Programming Theory Practice 2005 Workshop (GPTP-2005)
The Center for the Study of Complex Systems (CSCS) at the University of
Michigan is hosting an invitation-only workhop:
Genetic Programming Theory and Practice
12-14 May, 2005.
This workshop will focus on how theory can inform practice and what
practice reveals about theory. The goal is to evaluate the
state-of-the-art in genetic programming by discussing different
theories and their value to practitioners of the art and to review
problems and observations from practice that challenge existing theory.
This will be a small, invitation-only workshop on the campus of the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The workshop format is
informal with plenty of time for discussion.
Keynote speakers include Van Parunak (Altarum), Michael Yarus (U Colo) and
Inman Harvey (Sussex).
Below is the list of all papers to be presented at the Workshop, along
with their authors and affiliations.
The papers from the workshop will be published as chapters
in a book published by Springer (December 2005).
