Concerning GAs....

I am researching genetic algorithms for my Master's thesis work at CSU in 
Ft. Collins, CO.  I am doing this research under Dr. Darrell Whitley.

There is a conference on GAs this summer....it is the 2nd International 
Conference on Genetic Algorithms an Their Applications, sponsored by AAAI 
and the U.S. Navy Center for Applied Research in AI (NCARAI).  It will be 
on July 28-31, 1987 at MIT in Cambridge, Mass.  John Holland is the 
Conference Chairperson.

For more information contact:
    Mrs. Gayle M. Fitzgerald
    Conference Services Office
    Room 7-111
    MIT
    77 Massachusetts Avenue
    Cambridge, MA  02139
    (617) 253-1703

The first of this conference was held on July 24-26, 1985 at Carnegie-Mellon
U. in Pittsburgh, PA.  I obtained a copy of the proceedings by writing the
editor at the following address:

	 Dr. John J. Grefenstette
	 Navy Center for Applied Research in AI
	 Naval Research Laboratory
	 Washington, DC  20375-5000
	 gref@NRL-AIC.ARPA 
	 (202) 767-2685

Holland's newest book "Induction: ...." is a well written book.  It expands on
the chapter in "Machine Learning, Volume 2" that he wrote.   

Hope this info is helpful.
