Meeting Minutes - May 26, 2008

Today, Ludo presented the paper Robust Evolutionary Algorithm Design for Socio-Economic Simulation by Floortje Alkemade, Han La Poutré, and Hans Amman (Computational Economics, 28(4), 355–370, 2006). After a brief overview of the paper, the discussion focused on the main reasoning followed by the authors. Some objections against this reasoning were raised. We also discussed an error in the paper, focusing on what we can learn from the error and how such errors can be avoided as much as possible.
