Hi,
I am interested in communicating with people already working with
Complexity.
As a scientist formerly working in epidemiology and more recently in
robotics, I have become increasingly interested in Non-linear problems.
Unfortunately my background is basically inappropriate and would like a

written and thorough. Also, I always recommend Steve Johnson's Emergence:
The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software. A little more
towards the general audience, but some excellent examples of CAS.
I'm sure others will have some good recommends as well.
Good luck!
Hello Siddarth,
Lurking is relatively unrewarding, especially if you have a compulsion to do
something. I imagine you have a difficult time, as I did, trying to engage
anyone locally in a meaningful discussion.
I was advised to start playing with Net Logo, no doubt it will grow from

To be given three wishes is an absolutely frightening proposition, I was

Thanks for the offer but Right now I am hiding under a chair waiting for you
to forget the offer. I will work my way methodically and report my progress

You did an admirable job of trying to be reasonable. Sarbajit may sound edgy
