[Swarmfest2005] Invitation to SwarmFest 2005

[Steve Railsback]

Dear agent-based modelers:

Swarm Development Group invites you to SwarmFest 2005, our conference on 
agent-based modeling. SwarmFest has occurred annually since about 1995 
and this year will be June 5-7, in Turin (Torino), Italy.

SwarmFest is an informal, interdisciplinary meeting to share ideas and 
research results (including and especially the preliminary and 
speculative), and to make contacts in the international community of 
modelers. Cross-fertilization from interaction among people working in 
different fields and using different platforms has always been one of 
the primary benefits of SwarmFest, so we strongly encourage 
participation by people using platforms other than Swarm. I personally 
have found SwarmFest to be more fascinating, beneficial, and fun than 
any other professional conference.

This year we have an especially appealing (and inexpensive) venue at the 
Villa Gualino just outside Torino. Abstracts for presentations and 
posters are due by April 25, and acceptance notifications will be made 
by May 2.
