\centerline{\bf Electronic Publishing '90}
\smallskip
\noindent
EP90, an international conference on electronic publishing, document manipulation, 
and typography, will be held in mid-September, 1990, in the Washington, DC area 
in Gaithersburg, Maryland on the campus of the National Institute of Standards and 
Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards). An associated exhibition 
will provide an opportunity for participants to see commercial and research systems 
in action.
EP90, {\sl Electronic Publishing '90}, will be the third in
a series of international  conferences established to bring
together researchers in all areas of electronic  publishing
systems. EP86, held in Nottingham, England, was sponsored
by the British  Computer Society. EP88, held in Nice,
France, was sponsored by INRIA. The proceedings  of papers
presented at the earlier sessions were published by
Cambridge University  Press and have received wide
dissemination. The proceedings of EP90 will also be 
published in book form and will be available at the
conference.

EP90 will adopt a broad definition of `electronic publishing'. Electronic publishing 
will be taken to encompass all aspects of computer-assisted preparation, presentation, 
transmittal, storage, and retrieval of documents. The scope of the conference also 
includes the design of the related computer systems, the design of their components, 
and the theory that underlies such systems. Both linear and non-linear documents 
are appropriate subjects for discussion. While the conference will be principally 
oriented to new ideas and techniques, careful presentation of important earlier 
results inadequately described in the open literature is also appropriate. Papers 
should present previously unpublished original research results and should be supported 
by experience.
