Attached is the preliminary program for the fourth
International Conference on Complex Systems (ICCS 2002)
which will take place June 9-14, 2002 in Nashua, NH, 
near Boston, MA.

This ICCS, like the previous ones, is an unusual opportunity
to form collaborations and discuss advances in complex systems
research. It is also a remarkable opportunity for pedagogy.
Proceedings will be published in print and on-line.

There is still an opportunity to submit abstracts. 
Please submit them soon so we can organize them for the 
program committee meeting.

Registering to attend the conference without giving a presentation 
is also still possible.

Students and postdocs are encouraged to submit papers about
recent advances in their research. Opportunities will be provided
for them to give short talks or to be assigned to the poster session. 

Additional information about NECSI and the ICCS conferences may be 
found at http://necsi.org

Please send inquiries to iccs@necsi.org

Best,
