NEW EMAIL LIST ON SCIENCE STUDIES AND COMPUTER SIMULATION
Since the 1950s, various computer simulation techniques have become
increasingly important research tools across a wide range of natural (and
social) sciences. Software packages based on these techniques are also widely
used in more applied fields such as engineering, finance, or environmental
management, often in connection with computerised databases and
electronic data gathering devices.
We are trying to get in touch with other people working in the broad area of
Science Studies / ST&S / HPS, who are interested in the issues raised by
these modelling techniques, and who would like to join a special interest
email list. Our intention is that by having a relatively narrow focus to the
list, there will be a good chance of having lively debate of interest to most
subscribers.
The list will be useful for:
- exchange of ideas about computer simulation
- passing on details of books and articles.
- announcements of relevant conferences etc.
To join the list, please send email containing only the words:
subscribe simulist
to the address
majordomo@lists.lancs.ac.uk
(No subject line necessary)
Please pass on this message to anyone who may be interested.
Thankyou,
