> This a conference for modelers about methods and issues related to the
> development of models of complex systems. We, as modelers, are moving into
> an era where we are trying to address many complex issues e.g., Ecosystem
> Management, Global Climate Change, Forest Health, Sustainability. The
> magnitude and complexity of these issues is beyond the capabilities, scope
> and resources of any one modeler or a small group of modelers. We must find
> a better way to share models and the libraries of knowledge embedded in
> them. This is the purpose of the Component Object Model Workshop
>
> Several modeling issues will become of critical importance as we reuse
> models and their components to develop complex systems. The development of
> models of complex systems, in whole or in part, through component reuse
> allows us to mix and match components that have may different temporal and
> spatial scales. What are the implications of this on the resolution and
> scale of the newly developed system? What about error propagation? Do we
> have tools to assist us in analyzing and designing models of complex systems
> to evaluate the impact of these issues and avoid them? What can
> individuals who have wrestled with these problems tell us? How do we
> efficiently represent the information contained inside the models of complex
> systems? The purpose of The Modeling of Complex Systems Conference is to
> discuss these questions and related topics.
>
> The conference is being advertised and administered strictly through
> electronic means i.e., the web and e-mail. If you are interested and want

> http://Wally.USFS.Auburn.Edu/Conference/ where you can register, submit the

>
> Conference Themes
>
> Both concept and applied papers are invited for these Conference themes.
>
> Linking Different Scales and Types of Models - Concepts, methods and
> anecdotal experiences related to linking models of different spatial and
> temporal scales and/or types of models.
>
> Model Reuse - Methods and approaches that can be or have been used to
> integrate and reuse models for the development of complex systems.
>
> Model Engineering - Concepts, methods and experiences related to the
> methods, tools, and processes that can be used to analyze, design,
> implement, and test models of complex systems.
>
> Complex-System Representation- Techniques, tools and approaches to present
> or represent the information in models of complex systems in a useful and
> understandable form.
>
>
> Cost
>
> The cost for the conference is $1000 US. This includes the cost of
> attending the conference, lodging for 5 nights (Sunday - Friday) at the
> Royal Sonesta Hotel, the Icebreaker, Poster Session Socials, and the costs
> for all breaks. Additional fees are charged for the conference banquet,
> field trip and farewell lunch. The costs for these events are:
>
> Banquet - $65
> Field Trip - $60
> Farewell Lunch - $40
>
> The cost for attending the conference and all events is $1165 US.
>
> N.B* A block of 80 rooms is being held at the Royal Sonesta until June 1,
> 1998. If you want to take advantage of the excellent rates we have
> negotiated and its ideal location you must register before June 1. The
> registration fee for the conference will be $700 after June 1 and will not
> include lodging.
