Self-organization and complexity papers

If you are taking the time to peruse this blog I'll assume you have others on an "A" list that you read. So, logically, you read. If you're here, it's for one of three reasons: 1. I've conned you into it because you're family or friend. 2. You found your way here by recommendation one day and liked something, and are patiently waiting for something witty/relevent/interesting to happen again. 3. You found your way here because I state an interest in complexity, emergence, self-organization, etc., etc. This post is about the last one.

Credit Suisse First Boston, notable Wall Streeters, have been holding an event called the Thought Leader Forum on what would seem to be an annual basis. David Weinberg pointed the way to the 2003 Thought Leader Forum page. Last year's forum was specifically centred on the concepts of self-organization and the speakers were (as usual, it seems) VERY high calibre. The previous forums appear to have been geared toward subsets of this fascinating (to me anyway) subject. Anyway, if this emerging science interests you in general of for your day job, there are a number of papers and concept cards there that are well-worth reading.

Does anybody know how to get invited to this thing?
