Subject: CellSim
I received an announcement for v. 2.5 of CellSim about a year ago. Is
it still available? If so, could you send me up to date information
on the system?

Subject: Re: any alife programs in Boston area?
Does anyone know of any programs/jobs/people working in the field
of alife in the Boston area? I am interested in modeling of
embryological development and other biological phenomena, genetic
algorithms, neural networks, models of behavior, cellular automata,
etc. Please reply to mlevin@husc8.harvard.edu.

*********************** BOOK ANOUNCEMENT **************************
Klaus Haefner (ed.): Evolution of information processing systems.
An interdisciplinary approach for a new understanding
of nature and society
Berlin ; New York : Springer-Verlag, c1992.
Phys. Description: x, 357 p. : 46 Figures. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (pp. 347-357).
*********************************************************************
Features contributions of:
Vili Csanyi Sidney Fox Hermann Haken George Kampis
Jenny Kien Wolfgang Klement Ervin Laszlo Greg Nicolis
John Nicolis Theodor Oeser Mika Pantzar Michael Requardt
Anton Semenov
This book is based on an invited conference, held in Bremen, Germany,
October 8-10 1990. At the conference, issues related to Haefner's Basic
Paper were discussed. The Basic Paper is reproduced in the first part
of the book.
This paper claims that the same information theoretic principles
can govern computers, life, and minds, and further, that they are valid
for atomic systems and societal systems too. As a counterweight, the
other papers of the volume offer, by and large, a critical attitude or
at least significant refinements to this thesis. These papers, many of
which were written by leading experts, offer new views on information
based on ideas of computer science, synergetics, self-organization,
neural networks, and self-
modification.
