[FRIAM] FRIAM book

[Günther Greindl]

I abolutely agree. Also, I think it's a plus
that the people on this list have a diverse background.
After all, complexity science is interdisciplinarity
par excellence. So, whatever results from this collaboration
could very well be a good foundation for further work.

Regards,
Günther
