Subject: GAs for NNs -- Call for Papers

The following is abstracted from the Call for Papers distributed
at the INNS Conference in Washington last week.

The Intl. Neural Net Society (INNS) and the IEEE invite interested parties
to submit papers for the Intl Joint Conf on Neural Networks, to be held
Jan 15-19, 1990 in Washington, DC.  Of particular interest, there will be
a special, full-length session of invited an contributed talks on
EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES, including:

	- Genetic algorithms
	- The interaction of learning, development, and evolution
	- The evolution of cognitive processes
	- The evolution of biological networks

You are encouraged to submit abstracts or papers (15 minute talks) on
these topics.  There will be about six contributed papers in this
session.  Papers are to be single-spaced and no more than 4 pages long.
Send papers to:

	IJCNN-90 WASH DC
	Adaptics
	16776 Bernardo Center Drive, Suite 110 B
	San Diego, CA 92128
	USA
	(619) 451-3752

Subject:  papers on GAs and Steiner trees

We try to optimize Steiner trees by GAs and made comparisons to a conventional
algorithm (Rayward/Smith) and simulated annealing. There are two papers
available:

Hesser J., Maenner R., Stucky O.: On Steiner Trees and Genetic Algorithms;
acc. for publ. in: Proc. Workshop on Evolutionary Models and Strategies,
Munich, Germany (1989)

Hesser J., Maenner R., Stucky O.: Optimization of Steiner Trees by Genetic
Algorithms; Proc. 3rd Intl. Conf. on Genetic Algorithms, Faifax, VA (1989)

For copies, just send a mail to       maen@dhdmpi5v.bitnet

Subject: ICGA-89 Proceedings

This year's proceedings may be available from Morgan Kaufman in the US at
$29.95, but if we Brits buy from MK here it will cost us Sterling 50, (ie.
$77). We get a bit fed up of these artificial price differencials - can
anyone make this point to MK? (I've ordered direct from MK US and paid
the extra for surface mail. It's so unnecessary).

From: Renaud DUMEUR <red@litp.ibp.fr>
Subject: GAs for animation

 I am a researcher in Computer Science at Univ. Paris 8, and I'm
looking for a way to use GAs in order to automatically generate
animation scripts for computer synthetized movies. My interests are:
    - Implementation of GAs on parallel computers (MIMD and SIMD)
    - Use of GAs for behavioral simulation in biology and psychology.

	Please, add me to this mailing list!
	Thanks in advance,
