Most people who know me will be aware that I am changing job shortly. I will be leaving the University of Bath from 30th September 2007, and will no longer be an academic. I am moving to Street in […]

On Friday, September 7, 2007, Kumara Sastry, long-time lab member and graduate student defended his dissertation entitled Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming for Multiscale Modeling: Applications in Materials Science and Chemistry and Advances in Scalability. Please join me in congratulating Kumara (Dr. Sastry, that is) for a job very well done. He is finishing […]

I recently bumped into a paper titled ‘The Equilibrium Genetic
Algorithm and the Role of Crossover’. It’s a beautiful paper
that describes the first EDA ever that I’m aware of (not
counting Syswerda’s BSC as an EDA). The first author is
Ari Juels
(Shumeet Baluja and Alistair Sinclair are co-authors).
It’s from Nov/1993 and predates Baluja’s PBIL. I found it […]

I am sitting at the workshop on the Engineer of the Future hosted at NCSA. The workshop is part of the ETSI lecture series organized by Michael Loui and David E. Goldberg. The talks so far are very interesting. Hard to highlight all the relevant points, but I would like to mention the experience Sherra […]
