Hello all.  Susanne Lohmann sent me the following note regarding SWARM-like
activities on our UCLA campus next week.  Both speakers are excellent:
David has been involved with Evolutionary Computation for years and is the
author/editor of several leading books on the subject.  Joshua will no doubt
speak on his SUGARSCAPE project which is well described in his book with Rob
Axtel GROWING ARTIFICIAL SOCIETIES.  Both David and Joshua have been a part
of CSEOL/CEEG programs on Computational Social Science.  Links to their work
are on:

Since SWARM for Windows-95 still hasn't yet been announced and we have the
opportunity to attend these two informative talks, it is best to postpone
our introduction to ARBORGAMES.  So until next time, have a pleasant break!  

See you in Bunche!

Nick
