Subject: Two funded PhD Studentships in London at UCL
Two 4 year studentships of £16,000pa are offered in evolutionary
computation applied to financial computing.
Financial trading is increasingly dominated by algorithms that compete
for profit. Join us in the quest to evolve reliably profitable trading
algorithms to fill the niches of the electronic marketplace. We plan
to expose trading algorithms to the rigours of accelerated evolution
that optimize their parameters using genetic algorithms and evolve
entirely new algorithms using genetic programming.
We in the Computer Science department at UCL combine a unique set of
skills and expertise that position us to accomplish this task. We
bring together the UK PhD Centre in Financial Computing and CREST. The
Financial Computing Centre is a collaboration of University College
London (UCL), the London School of Economics (LSE), the London
Business School (LBS) and twenty leading financial institutions;
please visitwww.financialcomputing.org to learn more. CREST builds on
the three foundations of program dependence, information theory and
optimisation to analyse, understand, and improve software. CREST hosts
the monthly CREST Open Workshop Programme (the COWs); please
visithttp://crest.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ to learn more.
Starting in September 2013, successful candidates will undertake a
one-year MRes (Masters of Research) with the Financial Computing
Centre in their first year. The MRes comprises three Masters-level
modules (selected from any suitable courses provided by UCL, LSE or
LBS) plus a year-long research project. In years 2–4, the student will
continue their PhD in SSE group.
We are happy to consider candidates from any scientific discipline.
However, the successful candidate should demonstrate:
1. A strong academic background;
2. Strong quantitative and programming skills;
3. The ability to learn advanced maths, programming, and statistics.
Please direct any enquiries or applications to Prof. Mark Harman

Subject: CfP Evolutionary Intelligence Journal - Special Issue On
Evolutionary Robotics
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVOLUTIONARY INTELLIGENCE - SPECIAL ISSUE ON EVOLUTIONARY ROBOTICS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
Evolutionary Robotics researches the application of evolutionary computation
techniques to automatically design the controllers and/or morphology of
autonomous robots, real or simulated. This is by nature a multi-faceted field
that combines approaches from other fields such as neuro-evolution, evolutionary
design, artificial life, robotics, et cetera.
In spring 2014, Evolutionary Intelligence will publish a special issue on
Evolutionary Robotics.
We welcome submissions concerning state-of-the-art research in the area of
evolutionary robotics. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Evolution for single, collective and modular robotics;
- Evolution of robot morphology;
- Evolution of (neural) robot controllers;
- Co-evolution of hardware/morphology and controller;
- Evolutionary robotics in artificial life;
- Open-ended evolution in robotics;
- Evolution of collective behaviour;
- Evolutionary self-assembly and self-replication;
- Evolution, development and learning;
- Competitive co-evolution.
Details of the journal can be found online:
