[rule110] {{{ rule110 fuzzylib }}}

Hello Everybody,

We proudly announce the advent of the glorious Fuzzylib!

{{{ rule110 fuzzylib }}}

{ how to use it }

All books will be available for use at the rule110 winter workshop 2004.
After the workshop the books can be borrowed and used by
rule110 members living in Osnabrück, according to a book sharing
system that will be elaborated in more detail later on.

{ principle of organisation }

The books of the rule110 fuzzylib have been arranged into 6 categories.
there are special categorys for both cellular automata and simulation tools.
And there is one section for each of the main AMHSO project topics.

{ legend }

All books literally belong to the rule110 fuzzylib with the exceptions
indicated:
* martins private library
** konrads privat library
*** local library of osnabrück university

{ the list }

The list below is still subject to minor changes.
Currently it contains 52 books, which should be enough reading material
for one week ;-)

{ book reviews }

We encourage all participants of the rule110 winter workshop to pick their
their favourite book from the list
and write a short survey during the workshop, which we will then publish
on the [rule110] mailinglist.
