    The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis 
(IIASA; Laxenburg, Austria) is sponsoring a genetic-algorithm 
tournament to study rules by which people might learn to play 
games.  A set of simple games is being developed.  Rules
submitted by contestants will be paired to see which learns 
fastest; winners will advance through reinforcement and
"natural selection."  Submissions are due by 11/1/95.
