for Complex System Modeling and Integrated Policy Assessment

The organization of the CSM'2001 will be very similar to the organization of the CSM workshops in previous years as such an approach has proven to be succeessful.

Submission of extended abstracts (please email abstracts as using the abstract form available at this link, as a text file in the body of [NOT as attachement to] your email) - March 15
Acceptance of presentations (based on submitted abstracts) and sending out invitations for CSM'2001 - March 31
Final registration - May 15

The opening and closing of the CSM'2001 workshop are planned for Monday, August 27th at 9:00, and Wednesday, August 29th at 16:30, respectively.

Basic organizational assumptions

In order to meet the aims of the workshop and due to logistic's constraints, the number of participants of the workshop has to be limited. This will provide all participants with good opportunities for presenting their own work, for learning from the experience of colleagues working in related research areas, and for establishing new contacts. The schedule of the workshop will provide ample time for discussions and interactions.

Extended abstracts of the proposed contributions are the primary criterion for selection of the presentations. Abstracts of accepted presentations will be available on the Web in May'2001.

Organizational details

Abstracts and papers:

Extended abstracts of accepted presentations will be available on the Web in June'2001.
There are no plans to publish full papers related to the presentations during CSM'2001.

Presentations and sessions:

30 min. are allocated for each speaker, which is composed of max. 20 min. presentation and at least 7 min. for questions and discussion.
An OHP is available for all presentations. Additionally, a Pentium PC (running Windows/NT and connected to the Internet) and a video recorder (both connected to a display panel) will be available for the presentations of the participants who will request this hardware during the final registration.
The agenda of the workshop will be fixed a few days before the workshop. It will be posted on the Web and it will be available in the workshop hotel. The agenda will be developed with a primary goal to keep related presentations in one session and to avoid similar topics in parallel sessions. Participants will have an opportunity to express in the final registration constraints for a day or time of his/her presentation. Organizers kindly ask to use this opportunity only if really necessary. Such wishes will be accounted for, if they will not be in conflict with reaching the primary goal for setting the agenda.
Chairpersons of sessions will be selected during preparation of the agenda. Participants, who do not wish to chair a session are kindly requested to select a corresponding option in the final registration form.
Papers will be presented on plenary sessions, and on parallel (two at the same time) sessions. The organizers kindly ask:
- the authors to make sure that their presentation will be finished on time, and
- the chairpersons of the sessions to rigorously keep the schedule.
These measures are common for conferences with many parallel sessions, hence we should have no problems with adopting them to our workshop which has only two parallel sessions. The organizers would like to thank the authors and the chairpersons in advance for their cooperation in the smooth running of the workshop.

Miscellaneous:

Please consult the accommodation information well in advance.
All workshop participants are welcome to use (free of charge) the workshop bus.
All workshop participants are cordially invited to a Heuriger, a traditional Austrian dinner, which will be held on Monday evening (starting at about 18:30) at:
(place to be decided).
All participants are also invited for self-service lunches at IIASA's restaurant during all three workshop days.
