Subject: ECCS Workshop program
ECCS is on this Friday in Melbourne. For your information, the final
program is appended to this email. Please feel free to forward it to
other colleagues who may be interested.
A Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computing
will be devoted to the theme of the workshop - Evolutionary Computing and
Cognitive Science. More details will be available at the workshop or on
the web page afterwards.
