Yes, please come to Santa Fe this year for SWARMFest! It should be a
nice informal and intimate conference where a lot of ideas will be
hatched.
Marcus has helped bring the conference to SFComplex, whose annex is
the former home of Chris Langton's and Glen Ropella's SWARM Corp on
Agua Fria.
The summer is nice and the SFI Complex Systems Summer School will be
just wrapping up. Come meet some fellow FRIAMers :-)

Extension of Call for Participation for Swarmfest 2009 in Santa Fe,
New Mexico June 28-30, 2009
Abstract Deadline now is May 8, 2009, with decision responses back
by May 11, 2009.
Swamfest is the annual meeting of the Swarm Development Group (SDG),
and one of the oldest communities involved in the development and
propagation of agent-based modeling. Swarmfest has traditionally
involved a mix of both tool-users and tool-developers, drawn from
many domains of expertise. These have included, in the past,
computer scientists, software engineers, biomedical researchers,
ecologists, economists, political scientists, social scientists,
resource management specialists and evolutionary biologists.
Swarmfest represents a low-key environment for researchers to
explore new ideas and approaches, and benefit from a multi-
disciplinary environment. This year Swarmfest will return to its
roots, both geographically in Santa Fe, and programmatically by
providing a workshop/forum oriented conference structure.
One of the focus areas this year is to examine the range of systems
being modeled with ABM, and to start to develop a "taxonomy of
complex systems," with the possibility of providing some guidance as
to the suitability of the various types of agent-based models for
particular types of modeling go als.
We will also try to identify future avenues for ABM research,
including the "next" generation of ABM tools, platforms and
application.

for abstract submission, registration and lodging.
Hope to see you in June!
Sincerely,
Gary An
President, Swarm Development Group
