A little late... sorry. Electronic Publishing '90 Advance Program and Registration Information International Conference on Electronic Publishing, Document Manipulation, and Typography September 18-20, 1990 National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD About the conference EP90, "Electronic Publishing '90," is the third in a series of international conferences dedicated to all areas of electronic publishing, document manipulation, and digital typography. Widely regarded as the premier forum for reporting new research developments in these fields, the EP conference series has attracted scientists and engineers from leading academic, research, and industrial organizations around the world. The British Computer Society sponsored EP86, held in Nottingham, England and INRIA sponsored EP88, held in Nice, France. EP90 will be held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, close to Washington, D. C., from Tuesday, September 18th through Thursday, September 20th, 1990. An associated exhibition will provide an opportunity for participants to see commercial and research systems in action. A broad definition of electronic publishing is adopted to encompass all aspects of computer-assisted preparation, presentation, transmittal, storage, and retrieval of documents. Topics include traditional paper-based documents; hypertexts and hypermedia; font design (both latin and non-latin alphabets); experience with structured document preparation systems; the intersection with and application of database systems and software engineering environments; the theoretical foundations for document models and systems; character, text and document recognition and manipulation; experience with standards; and documents with actively computed content. The proceedings of EP90 will be published by Cambridge University Press in its Electronic Publishing Series and a copy will be provided to each conference registrant.
