John Holland's Publications

John Holland's Publications The following is a list of John Holland's publications as of 15 May 1999. Of course this list is not complete, since we hope and expect that John will continue, for many years to come, to contribute more wonderful ideas and clear, insightful descriptions of the many complex adaptive systems which catch his fancy.

If you know of any other publications by John H. Holland, please let us know at pscs@umich.edu and we will update this list.
