To offer a paper, please send a brief (less than 200 word abstract) to John Perez-Garcia (email perjohm@u.washington.edu). The organizing committee particularly encourages submissions from new researchers as a means to acquaint them with the IUFRO working group and the international modeling community.

Both a special journal issue for selected papers (Forest Policy and Economics) and a proceedings published jointly by CINTRAFOR and the U. S. Forest Service are being planned.
