Scope
=====
With the appearance of massively parallel computers increased attention has
been paid to algorithms which rely upon analogies to natural processes. The
workshop scope includes but is not limited to the following topics:
-Darwinian methods such as Evolution Strategies and Genetic Algorithms;
-Boltzmann methods such as Simulated Annealing;
-Classifier Systems and Neural Networks insofar as problem solving predominates;
-Transfer of other natural metaphors to artificial problem solving.
The objectives of this workshop are
-to bring together scientists and practitioners working on and with such
strategies;
-to gather theoretical results about as well as experimental comparisons
between these algorithms;
-to discuss various implementations on different parallel computer
architectures (e. g. SIMD, MIMD, LAN);
-to look for current and future applications in science, technology, and
administration;
-to summarize the state of the art in this field which up to now has been
scattered so widely among disciplines as well as geographically.

General Information about Dortmund
==================================
Dortmund
- was a Germanic settlement 1000 years ago;
- was a Free Imperial City in the Middle Ages;
- was a member of the Hanseatic League (and still has the second largest inner
harbour of Germany);
- had become one of the prospering coal-and-steel centres at the Eastern end
of the famous Ruhr District during the last century;
- was destroyed during World War II by 93%;
- lies at the railway and motorway crossings Stockholm (Sweden) - Rome (Italy)
and Paris (France) - Moscow (Soviet Union);
- is the capital of Westphalia between the green meadows of the Muensterland
to the North and the lovely mountains of the Sauerland to the South;
- has got 0.6 Million inhabitants within a city half of which is green (parks,
woodland areas, lawns);
- has become a University town not earlier than 1968 and attracted, by now,
more than 20.000 students (the faculty of Computer Science with 2500 students
is the second largest within Germany now);
- is becoming one of the High Tech centres of the next century with its
exponentially growing Technology Park next to the green field Campus;
- is Europe's leading beer brewing city, famous for its soccer team, its
futuristic Casino and its huge Westphalia Hall for all kinds of cultural
events (for 16 500 visitors).
The conference will take place in the conference room 1 of the Westphalia
Terraces next to the German Rosary within the Westphalia Park (nearby is a
modern hotel 'Parkhotel Westfalenhallen', the television tower 'Florian'
(720 ft high, rotating cafe), an exhibition center, the Westphalia Stadium
and the Westphalia Hall with daily performances of international standard).
Dortmund has got its own local Airport (Dortmund-Wickede) with regular air
services between Dortmund and Muenchen/Munich, Berlin, London, Nuernberg/
Nuremberg and Stuttgart. The next international Airport is Duesseldorf,
from where a city train (every 20 minutes) will carry you to Dortmund
within 90 minutes.
Nearly 800 national and international trains are passing Dortmund Main
Station daily, and many regular bus lines connect Dortmund with other cities
within Germany and Europe.

Subject: Report on AL for IEEE Expert
I am Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Expert, and I think it'd be interesting to have
a report on AL in the Magazine. IEEE Expert has an international circulation
of more than 18,000.
I am looking for an article that outlines the goals of the enterprise,
the ideas that are currently fermenting, difficulties, and perhaps a
report on the recent AL meeting. I am thinking in terms of a 3-5
printed pages. Those of you interested in writing such an article,
pl get in touch with me with some description of what you might cover,
and also let me have an idea about your background.
Thanks for your attention.

Subject: Re: Call for Papers - ICGA-91
Concerning the scope of the conference, could the program chairman indicate
what the boundaries of the area of genetic algorithms are in the context of
this meeting ?
This can be indicated by providing one or more references the conference
chairman considers to be "typical" work in this area.
