Sorry, providing links is a bit of a pain on my iPhone. But I've either made a design inference or a lucky guess. I just went through the conference programme for the meeting where Marks presented his stuff. And guess who one of the session chairs was? (hint: not WmAD)

Wes or someone knows the comp. Sci. area better - would the chair organise the reviews for the final version?

There was another chair, so Marks might have ensured that everything was above board, though, so there's no evidence for anything fishy.

The session was in T3, if anyone wants to go through the programme and check. It's in an excel sheet, of all things.

Actually it was T4. It's listed between line 64 and line 72 of the EXCEL sheet.
I guess what's quite telling is that Dembski is not mentioned in the authors list:

Rm8(Computational Intelligence IV) Session Chair(s) Henry Chu/ Bob Marks II
Paper ID     Paper Title                                                                                               Authors
995            Evolutionary Synthesis of Nand Logic: Dissecting a Digital Organism                    Winston J. Ewert, Bob Marks II

Seems Dr. Dr. Dembski's name is notorious even in those engineers circles.

ETA: The good doctor's name neither appears in the printed version of the program (page 132 of the pdf)

The other chair (Sam Yuan Sung) also presented his own paper, and has written papers with others listed in the session. (Here.) I wonder what he would say about the process. He seems to be completely unconnected to ID. Did he judge Marks’ paper while Marks recused himself, and visa versa? I wonder if he’s aware of the confetti-throwing at UD over this paper and of the inclusion of Dembski as author.
