Re: [Swarmfest2005] Swarmfest 2005 proposal

[Pietro Terna]

        Dear Paul,

        your presentation is immediately accepted; I've also the idea of 
suggesting to the author of the best works to submit their paper to JASSS.

        Can you now prepare a short abstract that I could link to the 
program? Or can you authorize me to link this paper?

        Yours, Pietro
