	SAC'93
	=======

	SAC'93 is the annual conference of the ACM Special  Interest
	Group  on  Applied  Computing  (SIGAPP).  For the past seven
	years, SAC's have been a primary forum for applied computing
	practitioners  and researchers. Again this year, SAC'93 will
	be held in conjunction with the 1993  ACM  Computer  Science
	Conference  in  Indianapolis. State-of-the-Art and State-of-
	the-Practice papers in all areas of  applied  computing  are
	invited,  including, but not limited to, Artificial Intelli-
	gence, Biomedical Informatics, Cognitive Science, Communica-
	tions,  Computational  Biology-Chemistry-Physics and Geosci-
	ences, Computer Assisted Cooperative Work,  Database  Design
	and Engineering, Distributed Systems, Expert Systems, Hyper-
	media, Geographic Information Systems,  Graphics  and  Image
	Processing,  Human/Machine  Interfaces,  Logic  and Symbolic
	Programming, Molecular Computing,  Networking,  Neural  Net-
	works,   Object  Oriented  Programming,  Office  Automation,
	Parallelism , Software  Engineering,  Software  Productivity
	and Reusability and Virtual reality.  Proposals for  special
	sessions and panels are also encouraged.

	GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
	=========================

	Original papers from any area of applied computing  will  be
	considered.  Several categories of papers will be considered
	for presentation and publication: (1)  original  and  unpub-
	lished research articles, (2) reports of innovative applica-
	tions in the arts, sciences, engineering, business,  govern-
	ment  and industry, and (3) reports of successful technology
	transfer to new problem domains. Each category of submission
	will   be  reviewed  by  peer  groups  appropriate  to  that
	category. Accepted articles in all categories will  be  pub-
	lished in the SAC '93 Conference Proceedings to be published
	by the ACM Press.  Best  student  papers  will  qualify  for
	awards.   Expanded  versions  of  selected  papers  from all
	categories  will  be  considered  for  publication  in   the
	ACM/SIGAPP quarterly APPLIED COMPUTING REVIEW.

	In order to facilitate the blind  external  review  process,
	submission guidelines must be strictly adhered to:










	                           - 2 -

	     address, below.

	o    Author name(s) and address(es) are NOT to appear in the
	     body  of  the  paper,  and  self-reference should be in
	     third person.

	o    Body of paper should not exceed 5,000 words (approx. 20
	     pages, double-spaced).

	o    Separate cover sheet should be attached to  each  copy,
	     containing (1) title, (2) author(s) and affiliation(s),
	     and (3) address (including e-mail and  fax  number)  to
