Welcome

Hi.  This is a repository of the various projects
and papers that I would like to share with folks.  It, like life,
is a bit random!

Complexity Workshop

I’ve moved on from Sun in
California to start my own business in Santa Fe, New Mexico: ComplexityWorkshop.  Our initial work is looking at simple introductory tutorials which make complex systems more understandable to companies.  The plan is to create 4 – 6 tutorials which will form the core of a book on the topic, and provide the core for a suite of classes given on-site. I’ve also begun working with Windansea, a VC firm in Santa Fe and La Jolla.

Here are some relevant pages while the complexityworkshop.com site is under construction:

• Recent History
• Bio for Rio Grande Venture Partners
• Research: Value Network
• Tutorial 1: PeerNet in NetLogo: OnLine Simulation
• Tutorial 2: Ant Colony Optimization in RePast
• ComplexityWorkshop Site.
