[IUFRO Div 4] 2013ForestDSS, December 4-6 Lisbon, Portugal

Dear Colleagues, We are welcoming applications to the Decision Support System Workshop and ForestDSS Community of Practice that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, December 4-6 (please check http://www.2013forestdss.chil.org/). This workshop will focus on the use of Decision Support Systems (DSS) in forest management planning. It aims at disseminating DSS among researchers, developers and users of computerized tools to support forest management planning. It will include computer labs to demonstrate the use of different DSSs as well as a poster session to provide an opportunity of exchanges about research, development and use of other forest management decision support tools. Through interactive discussions and practical workshops the participants will be exposed to the interdisciplinary nature of developing DSS for forest management. The ForestDSS Community of Practice will have its first larger meeting the 4th of December. We invite you all to register. Yet please note that the logistics of the computer labs constrains the number of participants to 180. We also welcome proposals for poster presentations. Contact information at 2013forestdss(a)gmail.com Sorry for any crossposting. Please disseminate this information to whomever you think might be interested. Thanks, Best regards, Jose -- José G.
