Administrative

How to make inferences in GP / initial populations / COSMOS

 * The emphasis should be about how to make inferences about how well a GP system works, especially in comparison to another method or system.
 * About the efficacy of GP.
 * What you need to do to make claims about your system and comparisons.
 * Not really about choosing a population size.
 * Includes a new experimental procedure.

ULTRA

 * Better on Pagie-Hogeweg and Bioavailability
 * Program sizes are much lower.
 * Tom will start writing this up soon.

Multiple output multiplier

 * Tom will work on getting this running in Clojush

Environments

 * We decided that the current return_tagspace and return_tag_ instructions are enough for tags in environments.
 * Maybe try PH or Bio if we have extra cluster cycles.

Lexicase-based Mate Selection

 * We discussed briefly how we might do a non-random mate selection based on lexicase.
