This message was posted on the agmodels list. I am sorry for the duplication
in case you subscribe to this list. However, I thought that this
announcement is of general interest to DSSAT users.

>26TH Crop Simulation Workshop
>Biological Systems Simulation Group
>April 9, 10, 11, 1996
>Fort Collins, Colorado
>
>Areas of Interest: The Crop Simulation Workshop is organized by an Ad
>Hoc group of scientists interested in all details of the subject of
>biological systems modeling with particular reference to agricultural
>systems. Papers will be considered on such diverse areas as modeling
>methodology, software modeling tools, models of biological systems
>(crops, pests, weather, soils, plant diseases, animals, economics, and
>subsystems), farm machinery operations, agricultural products
>processing, and modeling languages.
>
>Meeting Site: The 1996 meeting of the Crop Simulation Workshop will be
>held from noon on April 9 to noon on April 11, 1996 at the Fort Collins
>University Park Holiday Inn in Fort Collins, Colorado. If you desire to
>present a paper at this meeting, please complete the attached form and
>return with a maximum one page abstract. The tentative agenda for the
>workshop is also attached. The meeting will consist of oral
>presentations, poster sessions, and software demonstrations. Please
>make sure you identify which type of presentation you prefer. The
>limited number of slots for oral presentations will force us to move
>some requested oral presentations to the poster session.
>
>Time Allotment for Oral Presentations: Twenty minutes will be allocated
>to each oral presentation. However, speakers are responsible for
>leaving time for discussion. In addition, we would like to organize a
>special symposium on modeling the effects of management practices on
>root zone processes and crop production. Proposed topics of the
>symposium include:
>
>1. Effects of tillage vs. no-tillage on soil water storage, soil
> temperature, mineralization, and plant growth.
>2. Effects of residue cover and architecture on the above properties
> and processes.
>3. Effects of different crop rooting systems and rotations on root zone
> properties and processes.
>
>If you are interested in presenting an oral presentation or speaking in
>the symposium, please check the appropriate box on the application form.
>
>Poster Presentations: Space will be allocated for poster presentations.
>Please mark whether your submission will be suitable for a poster
>presentation.
>
>Software Demonstrations: PC computers will be made available for
>demonstration of modeling software. If users need to bring their own
>equipment, please advise the program chairman so facilities can be
>arranged. IF you desire to demonstrate software, please note so in the
>space provided on the registration form.
>
>Travel from and to Fort Collins: A commercial shuttle service provides
>transportation between Denver International Airport and Fort Collins.
>Details will be provided to those who register for the workshop.
>
>Housing Information: A block of rooms has been arranged at the
>University Park Holiday Inn. Rates are $68.50 for a single occupancy
>room or $78.50 for a double occupancy room. These rates are available
>only if reservations are made before March 1, 1996. You are responsible
>for making your own room reservations. Please make your reservations
