[comp.lang.modula2] First International Modula-2 Conference

king@gatech.edu (K. N. King) (09/13/89)

I've been asked to post the following conference announcement
by Dr. Marjan Spegel, one of the local hosts for the meeting.
I typed the announcement myself using information from the
conference program, so any mistakes are probably mine.  U.S.
publicity for this conference has been minimal, but Dr. Spegel
hopes that some Americans will attend.  This looks like a good
conference, so check your travel budget and make your
reservations soon.  --KNK



          First International Modula-2 Conference

                            with

                  Pre-Conference Workshop
        "Sharing Experiences in the Use of Modula-2"

                    October 11-13, 1989

                   Grand Hotel "Toplice"
                      Bled, Yugoslavia

                        Organized by 
       Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Yugoslavia

                    in cooperation with
          British Computer Society - SIG Modula-2


THE CONFERENCE

Following the Zurich 1987 informal Modula-2 Meeting and the
Augsburg 1988 International Modula-2 Meeting, the First
International Modula-2 Conference and Workshop at Bled will be a
good opportunity for presentation of progress in Modula-2
research and development, for exchange of ideas and experiences
in Modula-2 applications, as well as for the demonstration of
Modula-2 achievements in industry.


THE WORKSHOP

The workshop will be an in-depth presentation and informal
exchange of experiences gained from the design of real-life
Modula-2 systems.  Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of
the language, this being of primary interest to those actively
involved in implementing systems using Modula-2.

The workshop will be run separately from the conference, and the
number of participants will be limited.
