For those of you seeking information regarding the five-day short course entitled "Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization, and Machine Learning" to be presented at Stanford University's Western Institute in Computer Science on August 6-10, the wrong phone number was given previously. Contact Joleen Barnhill, Western Institute in Computer Science, PO Box 1238, Magalia, CA 95954, (916)873-0575. The course, presented by John Koza and myself, includes in-depth coverage of GA mechanics, theory and application in search, optimization, and machine learning. Students will be encouraged to solve their own problems in hands-on computer workshops monitored by the course instructors. New material on Walsh functions, Boltzmann tournament selection, Koza's genetic programming, messy genetic algorithms (mGAs), and the theory of real-coded GAs and virtual alphabets will be presented in a classroom setting for the first time. I hope to see some of you there. Dave Goldberg
