Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory

The Goldberg family returned this weekend from a two-week vacation in Douglas on Michigan’s west coast. Douglas is adjacent to Saugatuck, an artsie community with quaint shops, galleries, and access to Lake Michigan down the Kalamazoo River. Between going to the beach, sailing, kayaking, biking, attending lovely summer theatre productions of Urinetown and Honky Tonk Highway at Mason Street Warehouse or traveling to Grand Rapids to go to a Whitecaps minor league ball game, the John Ball Zoo, and the Meijer Gardens, we had a blast, and I think I’m ready to return to the grind of the mind and the slog of the blog. I thank those IlliGAL Bloggers who picked up the slack to bring you the latest in genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation during my little break.
