Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to announce opportunities to play challenge matches
against an evolved neural network checkers' playing program and
to participate several competitions at the Congress on Evolutionary
Computation, in San Diego, July 16 - 19, 2000.
1. CHALLENGE MATCHES
Registrants at the Congress will have the opportunity to play
challenge matches against an evolved neural network checkers'
playing program. You will be able to play timed matches with the
program, with the first person to defeat the program, using only
his or her own brain power i.e. no kibitzing and no assistance from
another computer program, wins a prize of $100. Players must be
presenting a paper at CEC2000. For more information please refer to

2. COMPETITIONS
There will be four competitions at CEC2000.
1.Reason vs Evolution: Prisoner's Dilemma Competition
2.Time series prediction competitions
3.Dow Jones Prediction Competition
4.Visualization Competition
The rules for each competition, including deadlines and submission
formats can be found at
