Overview
The ninth COSEAL Workshop is a forum for discussing the most recent advances in the automated configuration and selection of algorithms. It will take place on September 5th and is organized by Alexander Tornede, Eyke Hüllermeier and Marius Lindauer .
The workshop will consist of posters and talks about late-breaking research and useful tools, discussions regarding intra- and international cooperation, and many opportunities to interact with other attendees. There are no paper submissions, but the workshop provides the chance to discuss on-going research and recent results with other researchers.
