International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems
Call for Papers - Post-Workshop Proceedings Volume IWLCS 2008/2009
Submission deadline: February 19, 2010
------------------------------------------------------------------
A Compilation of two exciting workshop years - IWLCS 2008 / 2009.
Current advances and future outlooks.
Since Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) were introduced by Holland
(1977) 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
assignment schemes. Current LCS applications range from data mining to
automated innovation to on-line cognitive control. Classifier systems
are a very active area of research, with newer approaches, in particular
Wilson's linear approximation-based XCSF (Wilson, 2002), receiving a
great deal of attention. LCS are also benefiting from advances in the
field of reinforcement learning, adaptive filtering, and machine
learning. Novel insights in these two areas are continuously integrated
into the LCS framework.
For the post-workshop proceedings volume, we invite submissions of
extended versions of the workshop contributions as well as additional
contributions that survey state-of-the art advances, cutting edge
research in the field, as well as future outlooks following on from
workshop discussions. The volume will comprise recent developments in
all areas of research on, and applications of, Learning Classifier Systems.
* Submission Format
Submitted papers (deadline February 19, 2010) should have a maximum
length of twenty (20) pages in 10pt, one-column format. Please use the
