GENERAL

EP'98 Conference

EP98, International Conference on Electronic Publishing, Document Manipulation and Typography will be held on 1-3 April, 1998, at the Palais des Congrès in Saint-Malo, France.

AIMS AND SCOPE

EP98 is the seventh in a biennial series of international conferences organized to promote the exchange of novel ideas concerning computer production and manipulation of documents. Due to the growth of the Internet and the Web, the importance of electronic documents has increased significantly in recent years as organisations rethink the way they use and represent information. EP98 will reflect the changing nature of documents by treating electronic publishing as a broad topic covering many aspects of hypermedia, information visualisation, as well as document representation and design. Invited talks and tutorials on the latest concepts makes this conference strongly recommended for researchers, developers, and those who need to keep track of the latest technology.

CONFERENCE HISTORY

The early conferences in the EP series, EP86 (Nottingham, England) and EP88 (Nice, France), concentrated on the core aspects of electronic document production, from composition to printing. EP90 (Gaithersburg, USA) adopted a broader approach, covering hypertext and hypermedia, document recognition and analysis, and applications of data-base techniques to document handling.

EP92 (Lausanne, Switzerland) and EP94 (Darmstadt, Germany) widened the area again, confirming the trend for document processing to cover progressively more areas of computer science. The most recent conference in the series, EP96 (Palo Alto, USA), established multimedia, network publishing, information visualisation, and novel document interfaces as conference themes.

It is expected that EP98 will continue the trend to treat electronic publishing as a broad subject and to explore its relationship with computer science and other disciplines.
