ETBib: The Evolutionary Telecommunications Bibliography

I am currently assembling a (near-)exhaustive bibliography of published papers in evolutionary telecommunications - evolutionary computation for telecommunication applications. At present I have collected 112 papers, and I published a summary survey of these in the GECCO'99 Workshop on Evolutionary Telecommunications: Past, Present and Future. However, I am currently writing a full survey (with George D. Smith, University of East Anglia and Dave Corne, University of Reading) of the growing bibliography for journal publication. Consequently, I am reluctant to place the full bibliography here until the journal submission is made this autumn. In the meantime, I have included the full list of papers from my workshop paper.
