[FRIAM] FRIAM book

[COOK, Ian]

Can I pre-order it on Amazon yet, or should I just send some cash along
to someone? 

Seriously, this would fill a much-needed gap. A small group of
colleagues are struggling to make sense of many of the things touched on
continuously by this list and in the message below. Having that kind of
resource would be/have been a tremendous help. Any chance early versions
of the articles could hit a website/wiki somewhere?

Not always known for my patience,

-Ian

Subject: [FRIAM] FRIAM book


The recent discussion about the advances in the field
of complexity science and Owen's question about a
sound basis for discussions about complex systems
caused me to think about the current state of the
field and its literature. Perhaps a definite book
is missing. Won't it be an interesting endeavour 
to write one ? Perhaps with Stephen as an editor ?
A FRIAM book about Agent-Based Modeling, Complex Systems, 
Artificial Life, Evolutionary Computation and Swarm 
Intelligence ? It could cover for instance complex 
networks, complex adaptive systems, basic agent-based 
models, edge of chaos, frozen accidents, path dependence, 
self-organization, types and forms of emergence, swarm 
intelligence,..
