That book had next to no impact on the field of AI, because nearly everything in the book was already known to most AI researchers interested in related areas. It may have some effect in terms of pushing students or young researchers into self-organization and CA related work, though, just by being a well-known book publicizing those areas. -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
