Issues 3 and 4 of JASSS Volume 2 have just been published as a double
issue. I append the table of contents as sent by Nigel Gilbert below. Note
that the last item in the table of contents concerns memetics. As before, I
do not recommend re-opening any disputes by listserver. Interested parties
can simply read the relevant works from JASSS and elsewhere.

Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation
<http://www.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS/JASSS.html>
I am pleased to announce the publication of the first double issue of=20
the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation on October=20
31st. This is volume 2, issues 3 and 4.
The new issue features a set of four peer-reviewed papers on Computer=20
Simulation in Anthropology edited by guest editor Dwight W. Read and=20
three regular peer-reviewed papers, as well as a description of the=20
new MAML modelling language in the Forum section and four book=20
reviews.
JASSS is now completing its second year of publication. Over 1,500=20
readers around the world will be receiving this message, having=20
registered on the JASSS site to obtain notification of new issues.=20
The server that hosts JASSS recorded 17,695 'hits' on the JASSS pages=20
in April, and noted that on average 3,000 pages are downloaded every=20
week. In short, JASSS is much more widely read than most academic=20
journals published on paper.
All JASSS refereed articles are carefully reviewed by at least three=20
scholars working in the field, most but not all selected from the=20
journal's distinguished Editorial Board.
JASSS is free and depends on the collective, unpaid efforts of its=20
contributors, referees, and editors. As Editor, I am always pleased=20
to receive submissions and aim to reply with an editorial decision=20
within eight weeks. Because JASSS is not constrained by a set number=20
of pages per volume, accepted articles can always be included in the=20
next issue, ensuring speedy publication. The electronic medium also=20
allows us to publish color illustrations, links to program code and=20
even animations (e.g. see the paper by Edmonds in this issue).
Dwight Read's is the first of our themed issues created by a guest=20
editor. I would be glad to receive suggestions for further themes,=20
and volunteers to act as guest editors.
Below you will find the contents of this double issue.
