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. * http://www.bandungfe.net/
