Welcome to the Learning Classifier Systems workshop programme -Thursday, July 9, as part of GECCO 2009. Interesting and friendly discussions will occur throughout the workshop led by experts in the field. We also encourage, and anticipate, participation from researchers new to LCS to provide input on how best to develop the field.

London, UK, July 7-9, 2007. To be held during the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2007), July 7-11, 2007.
Since Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) were introduced by Holland as a way of applying evolutionary computation to machine learning problems, the LCS paradigm has broadened greatly into a framework encompassing many representations, rule discovery mechanisms, and credit [...]

“Advances at the frontier of Learning Classifier Systems” has been shipped to Springer for the final stages of editing and printing. The volume is going to be printed as Springer’s LNCS 4399 volume. When we started editing this volume, we faced the choice of organizing the contents in a purely chronological fashion or as a [...]

Finally, we finished the pool process to get the organizers for IWLCS 2007. The next three volunteers that will be forming the organizing committee are:

Bacardit, Jaume. University of Nottingham (UK)

Bernadó Mansilla, Ester. Universitat Ramon Llull (Spain)

Butz, Martin. Universitat Wurzburg (Germany)

Please join us welcoming them and encouraging them while taking the challenge of [...]

Dear colleagues,
The term for Tim Kovacs, Xavier Llorà, and Keiki Takadama as organizers of the International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems is over. For the last two years we have organized the workshop and we have put together a book that covers 2003, 2004, and 2005 workshops (soon to enter the printing stage).
We have greatly [...]
