RECENT ADDENDUM FROM STEPHEN WOLFRAM:

(RE: NKS 2003, near Boston, over the weekend of June 27-29)

In June of this year we're going to be holding the first-ever
conference devoted to the ideas and implications of A NEW KIND OF
SCIENCE. I think it'll be an exciting and unique event. And if you're
interested in any facet of NKS or its implications, you should plan
to come!

I'll be giving a series of in-depth lectures to explain the core
ideas of NKS. There'll be more specialized sessions exploring
implications and applications in areas such as computer science,
biology, social science, physics, mathematics, philosophy, and future
of technology. And there'll also be workshops and case studies about
such issues as modelling, computer experimentation, defining NKS
problems, NKS-based education--as well as a gallery of NKS-based
art pieces.

I'd expected that it'd be a few years before it would make sense to
start having NKS conferences. But things have gone faster than I
expected, and the enthusiasm and energy we've seen in the ten months
since the book was published has made it clear that it's time to have
the first NKS conference.

In planning NKS 2003, we want to cater to as broad a range of
attendees as possible. There'll be many professional scientists
coming, as well as technologists and other researchers from a very
wide range of fields. There'll also be a large number of educators
and students, as well as all sorts of individuals with general
interests in the ideas and implications of NKS.

We'll be holding NKS 2003 near Boston over the weekend of June 27-29,
2003. There's more information and registration details at
http://www.wolframscience.com/nks2003

It's going to be an extremely stimulating weekend--and a unique
opportunity to meet a broad cross-section of people interested in new
ideas.

I hope you'll be able to be part of this pioneering event!

posters for the conference, which my staff will be happy to supply if
you can display them.
