I think the topic of complex systems is too wide to be
included in one book unless it mentions the subtopics
briefly. Moreover the wide background of peole
interested in complex systems will make it extremely
difficult to agree on one book.

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.

good idea. I'd be willing to do a chapter ... maybe an introductory
chapter on emergence, or perhaps an applied chapter on agent based models.

Hey Tom, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My
flippant answer is - PLANNING??? How naive. You don't 'plan'

The serious answer is that I wasn't working closely with
