Welcome, Jim. We just had two visitors in Santa Fe from Indonesia, both of
whom had studied in Amsterdam and one, especially, is quite interested in
Complexity and simulation modeling as they can be applied to urban
planning. And, as a result of their visit, Steve Guerin turned up this
institute in Bandung, should you be returning to the region. *
