actively working in the field, but will also provide a number of
state-of-the-art surveys for those who wish to find out what is
available.  An associated exhibition will provide an opportunity
for participants to see systems in action.

The conference will cover all aspects of computer document
preparation, text processing, and printing.  It will include
considerations of document design, digital typography, authoring
systems, videotex, and electronic publishing.  Papers -- which

survey of a particular area -- are invited on any topic related
to document processing, including the following:

* Markup languages              * Document structures
* Document compilers or         * The creation, retrieval, and
