1. SYMPOSIUM ON STANDARDS AND INTERFACES IN PERSONAL COMPUTING
This is an announcement of the ECA-Symposium on Standards
and Interfaces in Personal Computing. It is to be held on May
21-22, 1987, in Brussels, Belgium. It is organized by the
European CAMAC Association, ECA, and sponsored by the Commis-
sion of European Communities.
1.1 Purpose of the Symposium
This symposium is aimed at identifying and promoting future
areas of standardisation in the field of personal computing.
With the future in mind, attention is concentrated on the more
powerful personal computers and the more affordable personal
workstations which will become common-place in the academic,
commercial and industrial environment. The power of these
devices will be exploited by the promotion of interface stan-
dards which will lead to the full integration of powerful hard-
ware, well engineered software, graphics and communications.
1.2 General Information

instrumentation and computing topics and is sponsored by the
