The present research contribution is a companion publication to CNA Research Contribution 291, which describes the methodology developed and used by the Law of the Sea Study to forecast the outcomes of multilateral negotiations on issues in law of the sea. All of the mathematical models and most of the techniques were programmed for the computer, and it is this system of computer programs that is treated in this research contribution. Volume I directs the prospective user in their execution. Volume II describes their logic and dimensioned variables for the programmer and specifies the changes that must be made throughout the system when any program is changed.
