But we'd like to ask all those mentined below to contribute a talk ! If one of the others also feels like giving a talk, let us know! we warmly welcome your contributions! {{ presenting your background }} { rule110 } introduction to rule110 (genaro martinez, 20 min) tiling with rule110 (abdiel caceres, 20 min) { biology } modelling infectious diseases (joana margarida, 20 min) sperm mediated gene transfer (andrei kouznetsov, 20 min) { artifical & art } darwinbots (carlo comis, 20 min) cellular automata in art (michael schreiber, 20 min) { sociolgy and philosophy } what's love got to do with it (alan roach, 20 min) some philosophical ideas (carlos gershenson, 20 min) {{ workshops }} complexity III (OSXLCAU21) (genaro martinez, 15 min) {{{ PLANNED PRESENTATIONS }}} { models explained } evolution and love (martin schneider, 60 min) sleeping patterns (konrad diwold, 60 min) pattern formation (martin schneider, 60 min) small worlds (konrad diwold, 60 min) { workshops } introduction to Starlogo (konrad diwold, 90 min) introduction to Mathematica (martin schneider, 90 min) complexity I (NKSexplorer) (martin schneider, 15 min) complexity II (DDlab) (konrad diwold, 15 min) Evolvica & Combinatorica (martin schneider, 45 min) {{{ rule110 folders }}} Everyone will get a rule110 folder containing short tutorials, handouts and references to literature. To include your handouts in the folders we need to have them until march 4th (thursday) ! If you don't manage to send us the handouts you can also copy them ( one copy for each of the 17 participants ) and bring them along. { Powerpoint template files } If you are going to use Powerpoint for your presentation, please download our Powerpoint template files from the rule110 website! In case you have windows XP you can use rule110-dark.pot Since the templates contain PNG's, older versions of Powerpoint may produce artifacts when rendering the transparence channel on screen. In this case rule110-light.pot should look less freaky. http://www.rule110.org/download/rule110-light.pot http://www.rule110.org/download/rule110-dark.pot { Thanks } Thanks for helping us make AMHSO a great experience! We look forward to enjoying your contributions! Thank you very much! Kind Regards, Martin
