CALL FOR PAPERS

ICCC / IFIP
6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING
at Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

ELPUB2002 - "Technology Interactions"
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/elpub02/

Hosted by the Institute for Print and Media Technology
of Chemnitz Technical University, Germany and by the
Department for Computer Science and Engineering,
University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic

November 06 - 09th, 2002

Electronic Publishing is an area that is crossed over
other areas such as E-commerce, Digital Libraries,
Distance Learning, etc. New technologies keep appearing
everyday in the Electronic Publishing arena. These
interact not only among them, but also with all these
areas, and not always in the same way. The "What,
Where, How, and Why" questions about these technologies
interactions is the main theme of the 2002 ElPub
conference.

ELPUB2002 is the 6th in a series of annual
international conferences on Electronic Publishing. The
objective of ELPUB2002 is to bring together
researchers, managers, developers, and users working on
the issues related to electronic publishing for public,
scientific and commercial applications.
The conference will continue the tradition of the
previous conferences which took place in Great Britain
in 1997, Hungary in 1998, Sweden in 1999, Russia in
2000 and England in 2001.
