\title{\TeX\ Inroads into Publishing:}
Subtitled `Document Design, Production \& Interchange', the 1991
\TeX{} Users Group Annual Meeting will be held on July 15--18, 1991
in Dedham, Massachusetts (suburban Boston) -- a short distance
from Providence, Rhode Island, home of the \TeX{} Users Group. The
high quality of the final product, as well as document portability,
have made the \TeX{} typesetting system a wide-spread standard in
academic settings, and it is making significant inroads into many
commercial areas too.
The 1991 Meeting will focus on the issue of \TeX{} in the publishing
world, addressing \TeX{}'s relation to the traditional and developing
publishing markets: from a tool for authors and secretaries in
creating preprints; to its use as an in-house typesetting tool for
production of attractive books, journals and articles; to a means of
sharing text from one setting to another in generically tagged
documents.
There will also be
topical workshops, poster sessions, several extended
courses, a networking lunch, and `Birds of a Feather' sessions.
Contributions are now being sought by the Program Committee for
inclusion in the 1991 Meeting. Submissions for papers, workshops,
and poster sessions may present material on a wide range of topics
related to -- but not limited to -- the areas suggested below.
Selection will be based on originality, applicability, utility and
interest to the \TeX-using community. A balance of entry
and advanced levels will be sought.
