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.
