suggested.
Those presenting a paper are entitled to register for the symposium at
the early advance registration rate.
To propose special sessions or noncommercial demonstrations, please send
three copies of an extended abstract to the Program Chairman at the address
below.
Note: A paper must include the name, mailing address, and telephone
number of each author or other presenter. Authors of accepted papers must
transfer copyright to ACM for material published in the Proceedings (excepting
papers that cannot be copyrighted under Government regulations).
The ACM policy on prior publication was revised in 1987. A complete
statement of the policy appears in the November 1987 issue of Communications
of the ACM. In part it states that "republication of a paper, possibly
revised, that has been disseminated via a proceedings or newsletter is
permitted if the editor of the journal to which it has been submitted judges
that there is significant additional benefit to be gained from republication."

Preliminary Conference Announcement
EP90---Electronic Publishing '90
EP90, an international conference on electronic publishing, document
manipulation, and typography, will be held in mid-September, 1990, in the
Washington, DC area on the campus of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards). An associated
exhibition will provide an opportunity for participants to see commercial
and research systems in action.
EP90, ``Electronic Publishing '90,'' will be the third in a series of
international conferences established to bring together researchers in all
areas of electronic publishing systems. The conferences are viewed as a
series, but each has been sponsored by a separate national organization.
EP86, held in Nottingham, England, was sponsored by the British Computer
Society. EP88, held in Nice, France, was sponsored by INRIA, the French
national research organization. Although the conference series is
relatively new, the results presented at the earlier sessions have already
been influential in setting the tone and standards for quality in research
in the area. The results have received wide dissemination---the proceedings
from EP86 and EP88 have been published by Cambridge University Press, and we
also plan to publish the proceedings from EP90 in book form.
As with its predecessors, EP90 will adopt a broad definition of
``electronic publishing.'' In short, electronic publishing will be
taken to encompass all aspects of computer-assisted preparation,
presentation, transmittal, storage, and retrieval of documents. The
scope of the conference also includes the design of the related
computer systems, the design of their components, and the theory that
underlies such systems. Both linear and non-linear documents are
appropriate subjects for discussion. The conference definitely will
be oriented to new ideas and techniques, although careful presentation
of important earlier results inadequately described in the open
literature is also appropriate. Papers should present previously
unpublished original research results and should be well-grounded in
experience. A partial list of topics includes:
- Document preparation systems: design, concepts, and experience.
- Document component identification and manipulation.
- Hypertext systems, particularly those that provide additional
insights on the characteristics of these systems.
- Font design and use: design and evaluation of computer-based
tools, techniques and goals, visual issues.
- Representations specialized for electronic display: fonts,
presentations, etc.
- Page description languages.
- Theoretical and algorithmic foundations of document preparation
systems.
- Critical analyses of proposed and established international
standards. Experience with standards.
- Managing the complexities introduced by scale. Scaling up
to large documents.
- Hardware-environment issues: Printers, displays, networks,
workstations.
- Distributed document manipulation systems (in the sense of
distributed processing).
- Specialized documents (e.g., catalogs, programs,
manuals, and proposals), with insight into how they differ from
generic documents.
- Text and document recognition (recognition of physical and/or
logical structure from a printed document).
- Heterogeneous target reader populations (e.g., multi-lingual).
- Application of database technology to document preparation
- Integration of documentation tools with other tools, e.g.,
CASE, CAD-CAM.
The chair of the conference is Dr. Peter R. King of the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Manitoba and the program chair is Dr.
Richard Furuta of the Department of Computer Science at the College Park
campus of the University of Maryland. The exhibition chair is Debra Adams
of Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. The local arrangements and publicity
chair is Dr. Lawrence A. Welsch of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology. The program committee will be announced at a later date.
