The DSFM2010 workshop in Lisbon 19-20 April was successfully completed – successful given the odd circumstances surrounding the meeting. Due to the eruptions only about 15 were able to make it to Lisbon. Fortunately, among those attending was key note speaker Keith Reynolds who could deliver a much appreciated presentation on success factors for DSS related to the EMDS system. Despite, or perhaps thanks to, the few participants there were intensive discussions revealing interesting perceptions of forest DSS.
Our great thanks to Andre Falcao who has bore a heavy burden as organizer of the workshop who made a great event of the meeting in the middle of chaos. And the preparations made by Andre and others should not be in vain; we expect to make material in the form of presentations and posters available through the FORSYS homepage. And the review and publication of articles in cooperation with Mathematical and Computational Forestry & Natural-Resource Sciences (MCFNS) will continue according to plans. Keep updated with your FORSYS blog subscription.
