Fwd: [JASSS] New issue of Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, vol. 8(4)

[Robert Holmes-2]

JASSS have a special issue about the epistemology of simulation. Looks like
there's a lot of thought provoking papers in this issue (too many!). Perhaps
we should divide the load up between us all to work out which are the good
ones :)

The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (
http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk) published issue 4 of Volume 8 on 31 October
2005.

JASSS is an electronic, refereed journal devoted to the exploration and
understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation. It is
freely available, with no subscription.
=================

This issue is our largest ever, with 12 peer-reviewed articles, eight of
them forming a special section on Epistemological Perspectives, edited by
Ulrich Frank and Klaus Troitzsch.

By popular demand, we have a limited supply of JASSS T-shirts for sale from
http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/admin/JASSS-T-Shirt.html . These feature the
JASSS logo on the front and are available at modest cost in two sizes.
