Subject: Invitation to Join NAACSOS

As you may know, the first annual meeting of the North American
Association for Computational Social and Organizational Science
(NAACSOS) was held last month.  Wide participation helped to make this
event an overwhelming success.  It is great to see that both the society
and the conference are off to such a fine start.

The objectives of NAACSOS are to encourage the advancement of theory and
research based upon social simulation; to promote cooperation among
those working in the field; to maintain and post a list of conferences,
meetings and workshops relating to social simulation with the aim of
reducing unnecessary conflicts; to coordinate the organization of a
regular international conference; and to support the development and
enhancement of educational programs in the field, and to publicize their
availability.  To pursue these objects NAACSOS integrates focused groups
including a Computational Social Theory Section; a Simulation
Applications Section; a Dynamic Network Analysis Section; and a Methods,
Toolkits, and Techniques Section.  NAACSOS membership is open to
scholars, practitioners and students.

I would like to strongly encourage you to join the NAACSOS society.
Application is electronic and the form is at
http://www.dis.anl.gov/naacsos/join_naacsos.html .  More information on
the society can be found at http://www.dis.anl.gov/naacsos .  Joining
NAACSOS gives you a strong voice in both the society and the conference.
This is an emergent field and now is the time to help shape its future!
