International Workshop on
Evolutionary and Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Robot Systems

Please note: The room where the workshop takes place has been changed to IOP-1, except for the invited talk (9:00-10:00) which takes place in II-8.

Workshop Programme

This is the final programme for the ERLARS 2008 workshop in Patras, Greece. This is Workshop 28 (W28) in the ECAI 2008 conference. The workshop venue is room IOP-1, except for the first invited talk, which will take place in room II-8. Please follow the local signs or ask a member of the conference staff for details.
