    The Annual Symposium on Small Systems provides an ongoing international
    overview of microcomputer and microprocessor theory, technology and
    applications. In 1991 the Symposium will concentrate upon recent advances
    in the development and use of Workstations.Areas of particular interest
    include:

	o Workstation Architectures - processors, system architectures
	  and peripherals.

	o Workstations within Distributed Environments - the integration
	  of workstations into distributed environments, operating systems,
	  performance measurements, networking standards.

	o User Interfaces in Workstation Environments - iconic representations
	  and graphical programming, dialogue languages, ergonomic analysis,
	  windowing and multiple displays.

	o Workstations in Software Engineering - practical examples of
	  workstations in software development; use of case tools.

	o Tools for Workstation Development - tools for developing
	  applications for workstations in distributed environments.

	o Applications - practical examples of workstations in specialized
	  environments, such as offices, medicine, engineering, and education.
