\title{EP92}
An {\bf International Conference on Electronic
Publishing, Document Manipulation and
Typography} will be held in Lausanne,
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(Switzerland), on April 7--10, 1992.

This conference will be the fourth in a
series of international conferences organised to promote the exchange of novel
ideas in the area of computer manipulation
of documents.

The first two conferences in the series,
EP86 held in Nottingham, England, and
EP88 in Nice, France, concentrated
mainly on the specific aspect of the production of
documents by computer, from composition to printing.
EP90, which was held in Washington, adopted a broader
definition of the term Computer Assisted
Publication, and accordingly included
more materials on new topics such as the
application of data-base techniques to
document handling, hypertext and hypermedia systems, and document recognition
and analysis.

EP92 will follow this trend. Its objective will
be to present the state of the art by reporting original and recent contributions to this
area. The conference proceedings will be
published by Cambridge University Press
and will be available at the conference.

A day of tutorials is planned for April 7.
Suggestions for contributions with introductory and survey topics are requested.
