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 Somerset to become the Pastor of Street Baptist Church. I am still happy to answer any questions relating to my previous research, so do feel free to contact me via my new email address, which is linked from this site.

Alwyn, it has been a pleasure to be able to interact with you. I would like to wish you the best in your new endeavor, knowing that you will give your 100% as usual.

The goals were to discus current state-of-the-art research in learning classifier systems and other genetics-based machine learning, and to identify future research trends and applications where evolutionary learning might provide a competitive advantage. The first day attendees gave presentations about challenges and current research topics (see the materials below). The second day, a series of three topic-oriented brainstorming sessions were conducted covering: (1) future of LCS and other GBML, (2) areas of application, and (3) techniques.

The list of participants included Loretta Auvil, Jaume Bacardit, Alwyn Barry, Lashon Booker, Ester Bernado, Will Browne, Martin Butz, Jorge Casillas, Helen Dam, Dipankar Dasgupta, Deon Garrett, David Goldberg, Noriko Imafuji, Pier Luca Lanzi, Xavier Llora, Kumara Sastry, Kamran Shafi, Kenneth Turvey, Michael Welge, Ashley Williams, Stewart Wilson, and Paul Winward.
