To CAS Members:
This is the Fall 1998 Edition of the Casualty Actuarial Society Forum, containing eleven Reserving Call Papers.
The Casualty Actuarial Society Forum is a non-refereed journal printed by the Casualty Actuarial Society. The CAS Forum is edited by the CAS Committee for the Casualty Actuarial Society Forum. Members of the committee invite all interested persons to submit papers on topics of interest to the actuarial community. Articles need not be written by a member of the CAS, but the paper's content must be relevant to the interests of the CAS membership. Members of the Committee for the Casualty Actuarial Society Forum request that the following procedures be followed when submitting an article for publication in the Forum:
- Authors should submit a camera-ready original paper, and two copies.
- Authors should not number their pages.
- All exhibits, tables, charts, and graphs should be in original format and camera ready.
- Authors should avoid using gray-shaded graphs, tables, or exhibits. Text and exhibits should be in solid black and white.
- Authors should submit an electronic file of their paper using a popular word processing software (eg., Microsoft Word and WordPerfect) for inclusion on the CAS Web Site.
The CAS Forum is printed periodically based on the number of call paper programs and articles submitted. The committee publishes two to four editions during each calendar year.
All comments or questions may be directed to the Committee for the Casualty Actuarial Society Forum.
Sincerely, Robert G. Blanco, CAS Forum Chairperson
