> The fourth issue of volume 4 of the Journal of Artificial Societies and
> Social Simulation (JASSS) was published on October 31st.
>
> JASSS is an electronic, refereed journal devoted to the exploration and
> understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation. It
> is located at <http://www.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS/>. It is freely
> available, with no subscription.
>
> =================
>
> This issue has six refereed articles, two contributions to the Forum
> section, and six book reviews and a review essay.
>
> Guido Fioretti presents a model of the structure of the information
> flows that underlie the creation of production chains between thousands
> of small textile firms located in Prato, central Italy. Henriette
> Otter, Anne van der Veen and Huib de Vriend describe a model to help
> understand the mechanisms that are at the basis of land use changes and
> the formation of land use patterns. Felix Flentge, Daniel Polani and
> Thomas Uthmann study the emergence and the effects of a possession norm
> in an artificial society. D.W. Pearson and M-R. Boudarel look at how a
> social interaction model can be developed that takes into account the
> influence of perceived attitudes, using a master equation approach. Rob
> Stocker, David G. Green and David Newth examine Dunbar's hypothesis
> (that natural group size in apes and humans arises from the transition
> from grooming behaviour to language or gossip) and show that
> transmission rate and neighbourhood size accompany critical transitions
> of the order proposed by Dunbar. Andreas Flache and Rainer Hegselmann
> introduce Cellular Automata models based on irregular grids and consider
> the effect of using such grids on two standard CA models.
