Abstract
The IIASA conferences on global modelling are intended to serve as a forum for exchanging information among modelling groups and to bring these achievements to IIASA. The outcome of the conferences on global modelling will be synthesized, and the various modelling efforts and their potential will be evaluated with a view to understanding the possibilities and limits of global modelling in general, and of the major existing global models in particular.
Since 1974 IIASA has been monitoring developments elsewhere in the field of global modelling. Three conferences have been held, each focusing on one or two major global models approaching a state of completion.
This fourth conference was mainly devoted to a comparison of two models: one by the Department of the Environment of the United Kingdom (SARUM) and one by the Polish Academy of Sciences (MRI).
