GPEM 15(3) available online, including a special section on evolvability and robustness in artificial evolving systems (edited by Lee Altenberg)

I was delayed a bit in posting this because of GECCO-related travels, but GPEM 15(3) is now available, containing:

"Designing robust volunteer-based evolutionary algorithms"
by J. L. J. Laredo , P. Bouvry , D. L. González , F. Fernández de Vega , M. G. Arenas , J. J. Merelo & C. M. Fernandes

"Hardware architecture of the Protein Processing Associative Memory and the effects of dimensionality and quantisation on performance"
by Omer Qadir , Alex Lenz , Gianluca Tempesti , Jon Timmis , Tony Pipe & Andy Tyrrell

=== Special Section: Evolvability and robustness in artificial evolving systems

"Evolvability and robustness in artificial evolving systems: three perturbations"
by Lee Altenberg

"Software mutational robustness"
by Eric Schulte , Zachary P. Fry , Ethan Fast , Westley Weimer & Stephanie Forrest

"Self-repair ability of evolved self-assembling systems in cellular automata"
by Can Öztürkeri & Colin G. Johnson

"On evolvability and robustness in the matrix-GRT model"
by Uwe Tangen

SIGEVOlution Volume 6, Issue 3-4, is now available

Looks like a great new issue, with:

• Lunch Isn’t Free – But Cells Are by Moshe Sipper & Achiya Elyasaf
• News from the GP Bibliography by William B. Langdon
• Evostar Conference Report by Justyna Petke
• Calls and Calendar

The newsletter is intended to be viewed electronically. Thanks to Pier Luca Lanzi, SIGEvolution Editor-in-Chief.
