Martin Pelikan just posted on the MEDAL and IlliGAL blogs that the GECCO 2009 paper submission deadline has been extended till January 28. Always, great news to finish polishing last minute changes :D It seems that the website is not yet updated, neither emails sent to the usual mailing lists. Just a matter or time I guess

And since I am talking about GECCO 2009, you may also want to take a look at the competitions announcement video that Pier Luca Lanzi put together below.

Yes, GECCO 2008 was intense!

Yes, I disappeared from my blog during GECCO 2008. Yes, I started blogging about the International Workshop on Learning Classifier System 2008 held on Sunday 13 at GECCO 2008. The workshop was terrific. Lots of new ideas were presented, but more importantly, lots of new ideas end sparking in participants head. As usual, the big workshop family went to dinner together where we all end having a blast. Some good traditions do not change, fortunately.

Then, GECCO started. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday have been the most unusual GECCO days in my 10 years of attendance. Yes, I presented our paper and attended some interesting talks, but what made it different was that I spend a lot of time on hallways talking to people. There was an unusual concentrations of very interesting people to talk to, not to mention friends I have not seen in a long time. So, overall was really fun, and now I am trying to catch up with the papers published on the proceedings…
