  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

(No subject line necessary) 
 
Please pass on this message to anyone who may be interested. 
Thankyou,
