The proposal is to conduct a pair of linked conferences on the topic of modelling in science, focussing on modelling in the biological, physical, statistical and cognitive sciences. The general orientation used is an `inside-out` approach, whereupon speakers who are established modellers in their fields will present their perspectives on what is central to modelling in their fields. The first conference will emphasize general methodological aspects of modelling, while the second will look more closely at specific applications. To promote dialog, the conference organizers will circulate brief summaries of contemporary views prior to the conferences. A Web site and a discussion board will be maintained on which synopses of papers will be posted and comment will be encouraged. The central, long-term goals are to foster a research community in the U.S. on methods of modelling and to promote links with European philosophers of science actively working on related topics. One conference will be held in Charlottesville, Virginia, in October 1997, and another will be held in Chicago, Illinois, in March 1998.

提议就科学中的建模问题举办两个相互关联的会议，重点讨论生物、物理、统计学和认知科学中的建模问题。所使用的总体方向是“由内而外”的方法，因此，在其领域内是公认的模型师的演讲者将展示他们对其所在领域的建模的核心的观点。第一次会议将强调建模的一般方法学方面，而第二次会议将更密切地关注具体应用。为促进对话，会议组织者将在会议前分发当代观点的简要摘要。将维持一个网站和一个讨论板，在上面张贴论文摘要，并鼓励发表意见。中心的长期目标是在美国培养一个关于建模方法的研究社区，并促进与积极致力于相关主题的欧洲科学哲学家的联系。一次会议将于1997年10月在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔举行，另一次会议将于1998年3月在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。
