RE: Good Books on Complexity Theory??

[MacFarlane, Robert, CTR AFSAA/SAAB]

Although there is a  military focus, a good reference source of information
is Andrew Ilachinshki' Web page.  He has a reference page that has a good
list of articles, books, and source material.  His two part treatment of
land warfare and complexity does a good introductory job of covering the
mathematical basis for complexity.

Subject: Good Books on Complexity Theory??



I ran across Foundations of Complex-System Theories : In Economics,
Evolutionary
Biology, and Statistical Physics by Sunny A. Auyang in a bookstore
recently.  I'm tempted to get it, since on first perusal it looked pretty
interesting.  However, I thought it would be more prudent to find out what
my fellow modelers have read and thought was worthwhile.  In particular, I
am doing some work on applying evolutionary models/theory to social science
and mulit-agent models.  But, I am also looking for some general must reads
in complexity and agent-based modeling.

In the interest of bandwidth, feel free to email me directly.  I will
compile the results.
