Call for Papers - Post-Workshop Proceedings Volume IWLCS 2006/2007
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.
Submission Format
Submitted papers (deadline September 28, 2007) should have a maximum length of twenty (20) pages in 10pt, one-column format. Please use the LNCS Springer-Verlag style as specified at http://www.springeronline.com/comp/lncs/authors.html (LATEX utilities can be found in the file llncs2e.zip). Papers will be reviewed for acceptance by the program committee and the organizers to ensure highest possible post-workshop proceedings quality.
