International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems
Call for Papers - Post-Workshop Proceedings Volume IWLCS 2006/2007
Submission deadline: October 12, 2007
------------------------------------------------------------------
A Compilation of two exciting workshop years - IWLCS 2006 / 2007.
Current advances and future outlooks.
Since Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) were introduced by John H.
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 assignment schemes. Current LCS applications range from data
mining, to automated innovation, and to the on-line control of cognitive
systems. LCS is a very active area of research that encompasses various
system approaches. Wilson's accuracy-based XCS system has received the
highest attention and gained the highest reputation.
LCSs are benefiting from recent advances in machine learning, and
reinforcement learning in particular, as well as in evolutionary
computation. 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, current cutting
edge research in the field, as well as future outlooks. The volume will
comprise recent developments in all areas of research on, and
applications of, Learning Classifier Systems.
