Thus, these proceedings provide a comprehensive report on the first three years of the Institute.

The proceedings appear in two volumes. Volume 1 contains presentations, comments. and discussions on the concept of IIASA, its creation and research strategy, its studies of global issues (including energy, food, and global development), its work on regional issues, the relationship between analysis and policy-making, and the role of policy analysis in an international setting. The invited comments of the National Member Organizations on the development of the Institute and on the Conference also appear in Volume 1. A list of participants and the table of contents for Volume 2 are appended.

Volume 2 contains presentations. comments, and discussions of the research areas: Resources and Environment, Human Settlements and Services. Management and Technology, and System and Decision Sciences. The table of contents of Volume 1 is appended.

Each volume contains brief biographies of the authors of presentations in that volume.

Recognition is due to the Council of the Institute and the Austrian Government for their significant contribution to the development of the Institute; to the participants of the Conference for their support and guidance; and to the IIASA staff for the spirit and effort devoted to the Conference and the preparation of the proceedings.
