Re: Swarm Intelligence; Simple Heuristics

[Dawn Trembath]

Steve,

I haven't actually read Gigerenzer's book, but I looked into his recent 
work several months ago.  Here is a link to some of the work being done in 
his lab, including the simple heuristics info.  As far as I could tell, it 
relates to agent design only in that it provides one of many possible ways 
to implement agent decision-making.  If this aspect interest you, I'd be 
happy to discuss it further.
