Description:
Overview:
The 1999 Meeting of the recently extended Modelling and Simulation Society
of Australia and New Zealand Inc., will be hosted by the Department of
Economics and Waikato Management School, University of Waikato, Hamilton,
New Zealand over the period 6-9th December 1999. Hamilton is some 120
kilometres south of Auckland in the primarily dairy-based economy of the
mid-North Island. It is also an easy one-hour drive to the premier
tourist centre of Rotorua, which, as can be seen below, will be a feature
of the four-day meeting. Key-note presentations and contributed sessions
will be held in the Waikato Management School buildings on the University
of Waikato Campus. These modern facilities and attractive venue offer an
ideal location for the Meetings. Participants will be offered the choice
of University accommodation, some four minutes walk from the main lecture
theatres or an extensive list of motels/hotels located in the city centre.
The theme of the Meeting, which will be the inaugural meeting in New
Zealand, will draw-upon the unique characteristics of the New Zealand
environment, culture and economy. The Local Organising Committee, with
joint Convenors, Professor Les Oxley and Dr. Frank Scrimgeour,
(Economics),
have involved representatives from AgResearch, the Forest Research
Institute and NIWA which we expect will add extra coverage to the 1999
Meetings.
Programme: The 1999 Meetings will comprise the following structure. Days One and Two will comprise key-note and parallel contributed paper sessions held at the Waikato Management School. Day Three will comprise a morning of scientific sessions held in Rotorua (all participants will be transported from Hamilton to Rotorua by coach), followed by a choice of afternoon of visits to either local areas of interest including, geotfeel free to publicise these addresses and the existence of the Meetings via any group or personal WWW outlets.
