                              Call for Papers

             2nd International Conference on Genetic Algorithms
                           and Their Applications


        The 2nd International Conference on Genetic  Algorithms  and
        Their  Applications,  sponsored  by  AAAI  and the U.S. Navy
        Center for Applied Research in AI (NCARAI), will be held  on
        July  28-31,  1987  at  MIT in Cambridge, Mass.  Authors are
        invited to submit papers on all  aspects  of  Genetic  Algo-
        rithms,   including:   foundations  of  genetic  algorithms,
        machine learning using genetic algorithms,  classifier  sys-
        tems,  apportionment  of credit algorithms, relationships to
        other search  and  learning  paradigms.   Papers  discussing
        specific applications (e.g., OR, engineering, science, etc.)
        are encouraged.

        Authors are requested to send three copies (hard copy  only)
        of a full paper by April 1, 1987 to the program chair:
