Dear Colleague,

this is a reminder that the submission deadline period of May 30 - June 15 for MESM'2008 at the Philadelphia University in Jordan is coming up.

The conference keynote will be Prof.Cyrille Bertelle
with a talk on: Complex systems, emergent computing and applications to engineering

There will be two tutorials:

Applicative issues from self-organization systems based on social insects modelling
By Cyrille Bertelle

and one by Gérard H.E. Duchamp from Paris XIII

The Venue page has been updated.

As well as the Social Programme Page. (which features an inclusive conference trip to Petra, the Pink City. One of the new World Wonder Sites.)

The hotel page will be upgraded shortly.
