Q15.1: What digests are there?

Digests are regulated, moderated, information sources in which many contributions are combined together before being posted out to subscribers, usually on a regular basis (eg. weekly). Mailing lists are listed in Q15.2.

Genetic Algorithm Digest

The GA research community exchanges news, CFP's, etc. through this (approximately weekly) digest, currently moderated by Mitchell Potter and Annie Wu (formerly by Bill Spears).

A statistic published in v7,i3 stated that GA-digest is sent out world-wide to 1800 addresses in 28 countries. The digest is also posted to the comp.ai.genetic newsgroup.

Evolutionary Programming Digest

The digest is intended to promote discussions on a wide range of technical issues in evolutionary OPTIMIZATION, as well as provide information on upcoming conferences, events, journals, special issues, and other items of interest to the EP community. Discussions on all areas of EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION are welcomed, including ARTIFICIAL LIFE, EVOLUTION STRATEGIEs, and GENETIC ALGORITHMs. The digest is meant to encourage interdisciplinary communications. Your suggestions and comments regarding the digest are always welcome.

To subscribe to the digest, send mail to <ep-list-REQUEST@magenta.me.fau.edu> and include the line "subscribe ep-list" in the body of the text. Further instructions will follow your subscription. The digest is moderated by N. Saravan of Florida Atlantic University.
