AUUG going to the AFUU conference in March 1993.  Attached at the end

contact me ASAP.  AFUU require abstracts at their next committee
meeting in mid October.  To ensure you make it onto the shortlist,
please send your abstract to me, or at least contact me by Friday 9
October.  Remember that email to me is unreliable, so call me on:

The selection of speaker will be selected by the AFUU committee from a
shortlist submitted by the AUUG committee.  If selected, AFUU will pay
for:
- airfare

*********************
* Content of papers *
*********************

The Program Committee is interested in both technical papers and
syntheses of different approaches. Papers can deal with users
experiences, industry and development strategies, technical innovation
from the research world or an overview of principles in a particular
area. Proposals will be judged on the basis of quality, originality
and appropriateness to CONVENTION UNIX 93 themes. The Program
Committee would like papers which address the following topics:
============================
Applications and Interfaces: implementation of standards, ergonomics,
============================ collection and compression of video
 images, image synthesis, animation, scene composition, assisted
 vision, speech/voice  recognition, video or teleconferencing,
 virtual reality, ... 
=========================
Tools and Basic services: distributed systems, object oriented
========================= databases, communication protocols,
                          toolkits, RPC, ... 

Authors are encouraged to submit the final version of their papers as
quickly as possible. Proposals must have a title, name and affiliation
of the author, and the complete text of the paper (5 to 10 pages) or,
at the very least, an extended abstract (2 pages).


*****************************************
* Lead a tutorial at Convention Unix 93 *
*****************************************

The tutorial program gives users an opportunity to increase their
knowledge and find solutions to specific problems through lectures on
precisely defined topics. The objective is to present the state of the
art in interoperability and multimedia implementation. These tutorials
are led by national and international experts. Official languages are
French and English. Simultaneous translation will be provided.
