Subject: Web space for evolutionary computation project

Author: Andrew Wagner

It's looking more and more like I am going to be diving back into computer chess
head first. Sometime this spring, I will begin coding the project I posted about
here several weeks ago. It will be an attempt at writing a chess program in
which the decisions about board representation, heuristics, algorithms, and
evaluation parameters are decided by "survival of the fittest" evolutionary
process. I'm not suggesting that this will produce a killer chess engine, but I
think the process will be educational - for me, if not for anyone else.

Anyway, my purpose for this post is to ask if anybody would have some space
available on a web server that I could use. Initially, it would contain just
planning and design ideas. But eventually, I want to have it automatically
updated with real-time (like every 4 or 8 hours, probably) results from the
evolving process. I think it would be very interesting for some people to see.
I'm dedicating a machine myself to running the evolutionary pool, and I'll write
the scripts there to update the web page.

Please email me if you would like to help with this, or have any comments.
Thanks! Andrew
