\"Wrapping<\/a><\/p>\n

JOCP! It’s been almost five days since I’ve posted anything here, and I have so<\/em> much backed up in the queue…<\/p>\n

There’s a major conference deadline (GECCO 2008) in a few days, and I’m struggling to finish up four different (and only loosely related) papers for submission. On top of that I leave Sunday morning for an excellent week in Germany at a research seminar<\/a> at the wondrous Schloss Dagstuhl<\/a>. (Feel free to visit some of my photos from my last visit to Dagstuhl<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

So sleep is short and fun on the blog is shorter still. In two weeks, though, I should be able to get back in the game a bit.<\/p>\n

The top photo is of a student (Tyler – now graduated) during a talk he was giving with another student (Andy) at a regional computer science conference (MICS) last April. On the next day the two of them received the best student paper award for this work :-).<\/p>\n

I’ve spent numerous<\/em> hours this week drawing and redrawing graphs and tables, so this is all too reminiscent of my life at the moment.<\/p>\n

The photo below is from a beautiful snowfall we had during the Dagstuhl workshop two years ago.<\/p>\n
