AIM AND SCOPE:

The overall goal of the Conference is to gather people from Western and

between specialists from different organizations with different profiles, 
to set up links between different  fields of informatics.

TOPICS:

Traditionally the programme of the conference focusses on three main topics

but generally is not limited to them. For this year, the following topics 
are emphasized:

A) Information systems and telecommunications in business and public 
administration
	- methods and systems
	- legal aspects
	- organizational, social and ethical impacts
	- education
	- standards
	- information management

B) Hypertext and multimedia systems
	- models and methods
	- cognitive aspects
	- personal computing
	- cooperative work
	- software
	- object-oriented environment
	- application in training and documentation

C) Graphical methods for scientific and technical computing
	- computer geometry
	- scientific visualization
	- CAD, robotics, and VLSI

The programme will consist of lectures of 90 minutes duration, short papers

of 30 minutes duration, discussions, poster session and demonstrations. The

texts of the lectures and the short papers will be published in the 
proceedings of the conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Those with appropriate scientific and technical experience are invited to 
submit papers to the conference. The text (in English) up to 8 pages 
should include the title, author's names and correspondence addresses, a 
brief abstract, an exposition where the essence and the specific results 
are given, and a bibliography. Type the manuscript on white A4 paper,
keeping 
the text within a frame of 240 mm long and 170 mm wide. Use 1 1/2 spacing. 
Avoid using dot-matrix printers in draft mode. The papers in camera-ready 
form must be received at the contact address in triplicate not later than
February 15, 1993.  An electronic copy of the paper (6 A4 pages, ASCII
format only)  can be submitted by e-mail to "barnev@bgearn.bitnet" but if
the paper is accepted the author should present a paper camera-ready
version at a later time. 

The papers will be reviewed by at least two members of
