Continuous publication

Beginning with Volume 24, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines has adopted a "continuous publication" model, in which articles are published in open issues as soon as their production processes are complete. 

In this context it no longer seems to make sense to post new issue announcements on this blog. 

To see the latest published articles, please check the Volumes and Issues section of the journal's website.
