April 12--An upcoming conference and minicourse devoted to the concepts in Stephen Wolfram's influential and groundbreaking book A New Kind of Science (NKS) will take place this April 22-25 in Boston. NKS 2004 will be the second conference devoted to the development of the ideas published by Wolfram in this popular and much-discussed book (see MathWorld news story, May 14, 2002).

The NKS 2004 conference will showcase recent developments in NKS-related research, including both basic science and applications. NKS 2004 is expected to attract a diverse and dynamic group of participants drawn from academia, industry, government, and elsewhere.

A highlight of the conference will be a one-day intensive series of lectures covering key facets of the basic science and applications of A New Kind of Science, presented by Stephen Wolfram himself.

The conference will take place at The Westin Waltham-Boston. An opening reception the evening of April 22 follows the optional all-day minicourse presented by Dr. Wolfram. Registration for NKS 2004 can be completed online. Since space is limited, potential attendees are encouraged to register soon.
