Subject: Q10: What introductory material on EAs is there?
There are many sources of introductory material on evolutionary
algorithms: background books (see Q10.1), textbooks (see Q10.2),
classical works (see Q10.3), journal articles (see Q10.4), technical
reports (see Q10.5), more advanced literature (see Q10.6), biological
background reading (see Q10.7), bibliography collections (see Q10.8),
videos (see Q10.9) and CD-ROMs (Q10.10). Information on how to get
dissertations is also given below (see Q10.11).
Conference proceedings (see Q12) are also a good source of up-to-date
(and sometimes introductory) material.

Subject: Q10.10: CD-ROMs?
PTF for AI by CMU
Carnegie Mellon University is establishing an Artificial Intelligence
Repository to contain public domain and freely distributable
software, publications, and other materials of interest to AI
researchers, educators, and students. The AI Repository will be
accessible by anonymous FTP and Andrew File System (AFS) without
charge (See Q15.3). The contents of the repository will also be
published by Prime Time Freeware as an inexpensive mixed-media
(Book/CD-ROM) publication.
For your information, here is a precis of the CD-ROM:
PTF for AI is a periodic collection of AI-related source code and
documentation. PTF for AI in no way modifies the legal restrictions
on any package it includes. The first issue (1-1; Summer, 1993)
consisted of an ISO-9660 CD-ROM bound into a ~100 page book. It
contained ~600 MB of gzipped archives (2+ GB uncompressed and
unpacked). Cost: $60 US.

Along with the explosive growth of the computing industry has come
the need to design systems capable of functioning in complex,
changing ENVIRONMENTs. Considerable effort is underway to explore
alternative approaches to designing more robust computer systems
capable of learning from and adapting to the environment in which
they operate.
One broad class of such techniques takes its inspiration from natural
systems with particular emphasis on evolutionary models of
computation such as GAs, ESs. CFS, and EP. Until now, information
on these techniques has been widely spread over numerous disciplines,
conferences, and journals. [eds note: The editorial board reads like
a who-is-who in EC.] For paper e-mail submission, use one of the
following addresses:

BioSystems
Journal of Biological and Information Processing Sciences, Elsevier
Science Publishers, P.O. Box 1527, 1000 BM Amsterdam, The
Netherlands.
BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical
articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the
information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that
encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information
processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems,
evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological
principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of
biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture
essential principles of natural biological information processing.
Topics: Molecular EVOLUTION: Self-organizing and self-replicating
systems, Origin and evolution of the genetic mechanism; Biological
Information Processing: Molecular recognition, Cellular control,
Neuromuscular computing, Biological adaptability, Molecular computing
technologies; EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMS: Stochastic EVOLUTIONARY
ALGORITHMs, Evolutionary OPTIMIZATION, SIMULATION of genetic and
ecological systems, Applications (neural nets, machine learning,
robotics))
IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation
The IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation will publish
archival journal quality original papers in EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
and related areas, with particular emphasis on the practical
application of the techniques to solving real problems in industry,
medicine, and other disciplines. Specific techniques include but are
not limited to EVOLUTION STRATEGIEs, EVOLUTIONARY PROGRAMMING,
GENETIC ALGORITHMs, and associated methods of GENETIC PROGRAMMING and
CLASSIFIER SYSTEMs. Papers emphasizing mathematical results should
ideally seek to put these results in the context of algorithm design,
however purely theoretical papers will be considered. Other papers
in the areas of cultural algorithms, ARTIFICIAL LIFE, molecular
computing, evolvable hardware, and the use of simulated evolution to
gain a better understanding of naturally evolved systems are also
encouraged.
Papers must conform to IEEE standard submission guidelines which are
available in IEEE transactions (for example, see the IEEE
Transactions on Neural Networks or the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy
Systems). Those wanting to receive an author's information booklet
from the IEEE can request this at <trans@ieee.org>.
Six (6) hard copies of the manuscript should be sent to: David B.

The editor-in-chief will be pleased to comment on the suitability of
other submissions at the request of the authors. Further questions
can be directed to <d.fogel@ieee.org>. The transactions will appear
quarterly.
2. Related Journals:
Complex Systems
Published by: Complex Systems Publications, Inc., P.O. Box 6149,
Champaign, IL 61821-8149, USA.
Complex Systems devotes to the rapid publication of research on the
science, mathematics, and engineering of systems with simple
components but complex overall behavior. Try finger(1) on
<jcs@wri.com> for additional info.
Machine Learning
Published by: Kluwer Academic Publishers, P.O. Box 358, Accord
Station, Hingham, MA 02018-0358 USA.
Machine Learning is an international forum for research on
computational approaches to learning. The journal publishes articles
reporting substantive research results on a wide range of learning
methods applied to a variety of task domains. The ideal paper will
make a theoretical contribution supported by a computer
implementation.
The journal has published many key papers in learning theory,
reinforcement learning, and decision tree methods. The journal
regularly publishes special issues devoted to GAs and CFS as well.
Adaptive Behavior
Published quarterly by: MIT Press Journals, details above.
Broadly, behavior is adaptive if it deals successfully with changes
circumstances. For example, when surprised, a hungry --but
environmentally informed-- mouse may dart for cover rather than
another piece of cheese. Similarly, a tripped-up ROBOT [eds note: not
necessarily built by Sirius Cybernetics Corp.] could get back on its
feet and accomplish a moonrock-finding mission if it had learned to
cope with unanticipated lunar potholes.
Adaptive Behavior thus takes an approach complementary to traditional
AI. Now basic abilities that allow animals to survive, or robots to
perform their mission in unpredictable ENVIRONMENTs, will be studied
in preference to more elaborate and human-specific abilities.
The journal also aims to investigate which new insights into
intelligence and cognition can be achieved by explicitly taking into
account the environment feedback --mediated by behavior-- that an
animal or a robot receives, instead of studying components of
intelligence in isolation.
Topics: INDIVIDUAL and Collective Behavior. Neural Correlates of
Behavior. Perception and Motor Control. Motivation and Emotion.
Action SELECTION and Behavioral Sequences. Internal World Models.
Ontogeny, Learning, and EVOLUTION. Characterization of environments.
Artificial Life
Published quarterly by: MIT Press Journals, details above.
Artificial Life is intended to be the primary forum for the
dissemination of scientific and engineering research in the field of
ARTIFICIAL LIFE. It will report on synthetic biological work being
carried out in any and all media, from the familiar "wetware" of
organic chemistry, through the inorganic "hardware" of mobile robots,
all the way to the virtual "software" residing inside computers.
Research topics ranging from the fabrication of self-replicating
molecules to the study of evolving POPULATIONs of computer programs
will be included.
There will also be occasional issues devoted to special topics, such
as L-Systems, GENETIC ALGORITHMs, in-vitro evolution of molecules,
artificial cells, computer viruses, and many social and philosophical
issues arising from the attempt to synthesize life artificially.

Evolutionary Economics
Published quarterly by: Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Service
Center Secaucus, 44 Hartz Way, Secaucus, NJ 07094, USA. Tel: (201)
348-4033, Fax: (201) 348-4505.
Evolutionary Economics aims to provide an international forum for a
new approach to economics. Following the tradition of Joseph A.
Schlumpeter, it is designed to focus on original research with an
evolutionary conception of the economy. The journal will publish
articles with strong emphasis on dynamics, changing structures
(including technologies, institutions, beliefs, imitation, etc.). It
favors interdisciplinary analysis and is devoted to theoretical,
methodological and applied work.
Research areas include: industrial dynamics; multi-sectoral and
cross-country studies of productivity; innovations and new
technologies; dynamic competition and structural change in a national
and international context; causes and effects of technological,
political and social changes; cyclic processes in economic evolution;
the role of governments in a dynamic world; modeling complex dynamic
economic systems; application of concepts, such as self-organization,
bifurcation, and chaos theory to economics; evolutionary games.

Subject: Q13: What Evolutionary Computation Associations exist?
ISGEC: International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Formed in late 1999 from the merger of the International Society for
GENETIC ALGORITHMs (ISGA) and the GENETIC PROGRAMMING Conference
organization. This society brings together the oldest society in the
field of EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (ISGA) as well as the two largest
conferences in the field. The ISGEC should help bring a greater
sense of unity, order, and inclusiveness to the growing field of
genetic and evolutionary computation.
The ISGEC embraces all facets of its growing field, including genetic
algorithms, genetic programming, EVOLUTION STRATEGIEs, EVOLUTIONARY
PROGRAMMING, CLASSIFIER SYSTEMs, evolvable hardware, and emerging
areas including (but not limited to) immune system learning, DNA and
molecular computing, ant OPTIMIZATION, evolutionary robotics, ECHO,
Tierra, and genetic scheduling. The society and its annual GECCO
conference are dynamically structured so as to continuously and
automatically embrace new directions of research and new participants
in the field.
ISGEC is a formal membership society. Special arrangements have been
negotiated to provide the two journals Evolutionary Computation and
Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines to all members as part of
their membership. Society members will also get a significant
discount at society conferences and workshops, such as GECCO and
FOGA.

Subject: Q15.3: What online information repositories are there?
Many research institutes have online repositories of information
which my be retrieved using FTP or HTTP (World Wide Web).
NOTE: See also Q14 above.
ENCORE
ENCORE (The EvolutioNary COmputation REpository network) is a
collection of FTP servers/World Wide Web sites providing a wealth of
information in the area of EC, from technical reports, copies of
journal articles, down to source code for various EAs. ENCORE acts
as a distributor of much material generated at research institutes
(and other places) which don't necessarily have their own FTP
servers.
Each node of Encore is referred to as an "EClair". There are numerous
nodes around the world, all carrying copies of the same information.
The sites may be accessed using FTP or WWW browsers. Sites offering
HTTP access are the best to use if using a WWW browser. They include:
o UUnet Deutschland GmbH (Germany): http://surf.de.uu.net/encore/
o The University of Granada (Spain):
http://krypton.ugr.es/~encore/
o The University of Birmingham (UK)
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/Mirrors/ftp.de.uu.net/EC/clife/
o The Santa Fe Institute (USA):
http://alife.santafe.edu/~joke/encore/
o The Chinese University of Hong Kong:
http://www.cs.cuhk.hk/pub/EC/Welcome.html
Other sites offer FTP access (slow if using WWW). If using FTP, omit
the initial "ftp://" and the final "Welcome.html" in the file
specification in order to access the top-level directory. The FTP
sites include:
o Technical University of Berlin (Germany): ftp://ftp-
bionik.fb10.tu-berlin.de/pub/EC/Welcome.html

Subject: Q15.5: What about all these Internet Services?
The Internet supports a variety of on-line services, and a number of
tools are available to enable people to make good use of these,
including: telnet, FTP, gopher, veronica, archie, Wide Area
Information Servers (WAIS), and the World-Wide Web (WWW).
Information about using Internet is available from a number of
sources, many accesible on-line, via email or FTP. For example, the
EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) publishes two guides for novices
on all the Internet has to offer, by Adam Gaffin and Joerg
Heitkoetter (see below). These are avaiable over the net.
To receive a short guide to using anonymous FTP, send e-mail with the
text "help" to <info@sunsite.unc.edu>.
If you dont have FTP access, you can retrieve documents using the
FTP-by-email service. The "ftpmail" service is installed on several
sites to allow transmission of FTPable files from almost anywhere. To
get the PostScript version of this FAQ from ENCORE, (See Q15.3) for
example, send a message to (for example) <ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com>
containing the lines:
reply <your-own-e-mail-address-here>
connect alife.santafe.edu
get pub/USER-AREA/EC/FAQ/hhgtec.ps.gz
quit
where <your-e-mail-address> is e.g. foo@bar.edu
FTPmail sites available are listed below. Use one that is near you
for best performance.
(USA) <ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com>
