Dear Bill,
Thanks for this. Sadly, I won’t be able to make it to this year’s
symposium as I will be preparing a presentation for an EXYSTENCE thematic
institute on complex networks –see below-, so I will miss your
presentation.
Is this an extension to Depth- or Web-map, and if so is it available for
download?
Hope everything goes well with SSS5.
Kind Regards,
Rui
