This month we've opted for the short talk/demonstration/discussion format again. As already requested on the mailing list, we'll include a talk about GPG. Please think about bringing your own little talks/demonstrations or ask on the mailing list beforehand if there's something you'd like someone else to talk about or demonstrate etc.
Date: Sunday 3rd November 2002 Time: 6.30pm Venue: Comlab The meeting will (as always) be followed by drinks at the Lamb and Flag.
Comlab entrance is from Parks Road and there are directions at http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/about/directions.html

David Cliff, form HP Lab in Bristol will be talking about Biologically Inspired Complex Adaptive Systems.
Ant-hills, nervous systems, a Stock Exchange seething with self-interested traders: the world is full of systems of simple components interacting in simple ways, yet combining to give complex purposeful behaviour. Dave describes what these teach about building adaptive, robust, self-organising programs.
