We are conducting a survey of people working in academia and in industry
to assist in understanding trends in the Evolutionary Computation
field. In particular, we would like to identify what kind of EC
capabilities and skills are most desirable in industry and in helping
new graduates find jobs.
Already we have had around 300 responses and preliminary results were
presented at the Evolutionary Computation in Practice track at GECCO
'05, which showed some interesting trends in the field.
We will be collecting survey responses until the end of this year. If
you have used Genetic Algorithms or Evolutionary Computation in your
work, especially if your work experience is outside of academia, we
would appreciate it if you would fill in the survey at:

The survey report will be published in 2006.
thanks!
