Dagstuhl from the air<\/a>
\nI’m happy ensconced once again at the Schloss Dagstuhl International Conference Research Center for Computer Science<\/a> in Germany for a week, and it’s swell.<\/p>\n

\"Dagstuhl<\/a>
\nThe short version is that Dagstuhl is a 1700’s manor house converted into a dedicated CSci research facility. They run a series of weekly workshops on different topics year round. Every two years they’ve had one in January or February on the Theory of Evolutionary Algorithms<\/a>, and I’ve had the pleasure of coming three times (including this visit). It’s a small-ish group of about 50 cool people focusing pretty intensely on the subject, and it really stretches my head in cool (if sometimes painful) ways.<\/p>\n

I could talk a lot, but I should be doing research, so I’ll leave you to look at the pictures<\/a> and read the history<\/a>. (Getting ready to come here in the midst of classes and admin duties is largely the reason for not much blogging recently, and it’s likely to remain quiet as a result.)<\/p>\n

This morning’s round were on co-evolution and had some very nice material.<\/p>\n
