Details about NKS 2003: Conference & Minicourse can be found at
www.wolframscience.com/nks2003. It will explore the ideas &
implications of Stephen Wolfram's book, A New Kind of Science.
It will be held June 27-29, 2003 at the The Westin Waltham, Boston.

One of the features of the conference will be a minicourse by
Stephen Wolfram. He will cover key facets of the science described
in his book:

* The world of simple programs
* How to do NKS computer experiments
* How to make models with simple programs
* Implications for biology
* The fundamental theory of physics
* Processes of perception and analysis
* The Principle of Computational Equivalence
* Extending the foundations of mathematics
* New directions for computer science
* Historical and philosophical perspectives
* The future of NKS

The conference itself will have specialized sessions focusing on
implications and applications for:

* Computer Science
* Biological Sciences
* Social Sciences
* Physical Sciences
* Fundamental Physics
* Mathematics
* Foundations of Mathematics
* Philosophy
* Future Technology and more...
* Modeling
* Computer Experimentation
* Defining NKS Problems
* NKS Explorer
* NKS-Based Education and more...

There will also be gallery of artwork based on simple programs. Please
contact Ed Pegg at edp@wolfram.com if you have anything appropriate.

A preconference Mathematica course will be available.

NKS 2003 will be appropriate for anyone interested in learning
about or pursuing the ideas of A New Kind of Science. Dr. Wolfram's
minicourse lectures will assume a background of general scientific
knowledge at a basic college level. Specialized sessions may assume
graduate-level knowledge of relevant fields.
