This unmoderated group will be devoted to the subject of genetic algorithms.  This group has been discussed at length on the comp.ai groups.  An RFD was posted about a year ago, and met with widespread support, but for some reason the proposer never followed through with a vote.  There was some discussion at the time about the name, but the general consensus seemed to be that comp.ai.genetic was the most appropriate name.  (Alternatives included comp.theory.genetic, comp.ai.ga, and comp.algorithms.genetic, but none of these seemed satisfactory.)  It should be noted that the presence of "AI" in the group name does not rule out discussion of aspects of genetic algorithms that are not directly related to AI, any more than it does in comp.ai.neural-nets.  The vote will be run by Michael Arras ([email protected]). When the time comes, he will post the CFV for the creation of comp.ai.genetic.  Topics for discussion in comp.ai.genetic include but are not limited to:   -- Mathematical theory of genetic algorithms.  -- Classifier systems, and other uses of GAs in machine learning.  -- The use of GAs in function-optimization.  -- Applications of GAs in any domain.  -- The use of GAs in the modeling of evolution.  -- Evolutionary aspects of artificial life.  -- Combinations of genetic algorithms and neural networks.  -- Other varieties of evolutionary computation           -- e.g. "evolutionary strategies" and "genetic programming".  -- Software for genetic algorithms.  -- Implementational strategies for genetic algorithms.  -- Conference and journal announcements.  Discussion is directed to news.groups.  The above was written by David Chalmers ([email protected]). --  Michael Arras                      /  \  |  |  Bavarian Research [email protected]     /    \ |  |  Center for Artificial Neural Network and    /  /\  \|  |  Knowledge-Based Fuzzy Logic Research Group      |   __   |  |  Systems__________  From [email protected] Tue Nov 24 13:17:46 1992 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Mike Arras) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.ai,comp.ai.neural-nets,comp.theory,comp.theory.self-org-sys Subject: CFV: comp.ai.genetic Followup-To: poster Date: 24 Nov 1992 10:20:17 -0500 Organization: FORWISS, Uni Erlangen, Germany Lines: 44 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Distribution: inet Message-ID: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] NNTP-Posting-Host: news.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:2993 news.groups:61699 comp.ai:14592 comp.ai.neural-nets:8849 comp.theory:6285 comp.theory.self-org-sys:366  	This is the official call for votes for the creation of an unmoderated newsgroup called comp.ai.genetic.

NAME: 	comp.ai.ga or comp.ai.genetic-algorithms  STATUS: 	Un-moderrated.  CHARTER:     I (We) are proposing the formation of a newsgroup to discuss topics concerning or related to genetic algorithms. Other topic areas might be machine-based learning systems, such as classifiers, goal-seekers,  game-players, reward/punishment and parallel implementations since these  often employ genetic techniques. 	Hybrid systems and combinations of other techniques (neural networks, N(logN) systems) could be discussed, as well as domain-specific (heuristic) techniques versus genetic techniques.     Announcements about international/national/local conferences and/or college courses might be posted. Proceedings, papers, books, articles can be announced.   RATIONAL:     There is no appropriate place for the discussion of topics related to genetic techniques in problem solving. Some discussion has occurred in comp.ai and comp.ai.neural-nets, possibly others. There is a mailing list [[email protected]] associated with this topic.  - Send submissions to [email protected]  - Send administrative requests to [email protected]   It is proposed that this list be posted to comp.ai.ga. I believe the formation  of this group will help increase awareness of genetic techniques, and spark lively discussion among practitioners in the field (such as myself.)   OPTIONS/OPINONS:     The name should be either comp.ai.ga or comp.ai.genetic-algorithms. The latter might be preferred for readability, but the diminutive "GA" is already in wide use. Besides its easier to type.     Comp.ai.ga belongs in comp.ai. Adaptive systems (of which neural networks are one type) are an appropriate topic of interest to AI researchers. Machine learning is directly related to AI.     Comp.ai.ga should be unmoderated. We need to promote free and open discussion of genetic techniques and allow for ample crossover of information (local schemata?) from other fields of study. (This is the heart of genetic techniques: No information is useless.) No other group in comp.ai is moderated. (That I know of, anyway)   GA's are already over 30 years old. (Holland, J.H. (1959) A universal computer capable of executing an arbitrary number of subprograms simultaneously. 1959 Proceedings of the Eastern Joint Computer Conference, 108-112.) It is time they moved from the theory labs into the mainstream of computer practice.  Ed Howland --  Ed Howland                   | 'I know, its only Rock & Roll, but I like it.'
