		     CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
	================================================
	The Ninth TRON Project Symposium (International)
	================================================
		       December 1-4, 1992
			  Tokyo, Japan

		 Sponsored by: TRON Association
	   In cooperation with: IEEE Computer Society
  In cooperation with: Dept. of Information Science, Univ. of Tokyo


You Are Invited to Participate
------------------------------

The TRON Project is working to develop new computer infrastructures.
Since the project was started in 1984, real progress has been made in
such areas as real-time OS specifications for embedded systems (ITRON
subproject), human/machine interface designs for computers in offices
and homes (BTRON subproject), communication network-oriented computers
(CTRON subproject), and an advanced microprocessor architecture (CHIP
subproject).  These technologies have already been widely implemented
both in Japan and abroad.

The TRON Association has been holding the TRON Project Symposium each
year to introduce to the world the latest developments taking place in
the project, enhance understanding of the project's work, and provide
a forum for sharing research results.  This year is the ninth time the
symposium is being held.  A central event will be the international
conference, featuring lectures by noted guests and presentations of
technical papers on recent project-related technology.  Tutorial
sessions are also scheduled, where explanations will be given of the
activities going on in each subproject.

Coinciding with the symposium, the TEPS'92 Conference will be held to
announce recent developments in EnableWare research, aimed at making
computers more accessible to those with physical disabilities.
Presenters will explain the difficulties faced by the handicapped in
using computers and other electronics products, and will discuss how
their special needs can be met in HMI design.  This year's conference
will focus especially on the visually impaired, presenting results of
research intended to support their use of computerized equipment.

Everyone interested in the TRON Project is cordially invited to attend
both the TRON Project Symposium and TEPS'92.
