We develop software that introduces augmented reality to the operating
room. The development is done in the United States and in Austria. The
product is in clinical trials in Europe and we need developers to
expand our engineering capacity. For well defined subprojects with non
proprietary technology like CT and MRI imaging data acquisition we also
resort to contract assignments. At this time we are looking for
permanent employees (preferable local developers) for a development
unit in Budapest.

The technology of Artma is internationally recognized. You can learn

        ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING

         1995 JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ACH-ALLC 95

                         JULY 11-15, 1995
         UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA


On behalf of the Executive Councils of the Association for
Computers and the Humanities and the Association for
Literary and Linguistic Computing, we cordially invite you
to attend the seventh annual joint international conference,
to be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara,
July 11-15, 1995.

This conference is the major forum for discussion of the
preparation, encoding, and use of character-based electronic
text and for computer-based research in literature,
linguistics, and related humanities disciplines. It will
include presentations on the development of new computing
methodologies for research and teaching in the humanities,
on the development of significant new materials and tools
for humanities research, and on the application and
evaluation of computing techniques in humanities subjects.

The Association for Computers and the Humanities is a
professional society for scholars working in computer-
related research in literature and language studies,
history, philosophy, and other disciplines of the
humanities.

The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing was
founded in 1973 as an international association to promote
the development of literary and linguistic computing.


Overview:
---------
As a preliminary event, an optional tour of the city of
Santa Barbara has been scheduled for the afternoon of
Tuesday, July 11, from 1pm to 4pm.

The conference will officially begin in the late afternoon
and evening of Tuesday, July 11, with a reception, opening
addresses, and an optional banquet.

Concurrent sessions will begin on the morning of Wednesday,
July 12, and continue through to closing at noon on
Saturday, July 15.

An optional beach barbecue will be held on the evening of
Friday, July 14.

An optional winery tour will take place on the afternoon of
Saturday, July 15, after the closing of the conference.

Room and board accommodations are available in campus
dormitories at economical rates, and rooms are available at
special conference rates at a variety of area motels and
hotels.

Details are given below.


Air Transportation to Santa Barbara:
------------------------------------
The Santa Barbara/Goleta Airport provides jet service by
United Airlines from major international airports in San
Francisco and Denver. Several forms of transportation are
available between Los Angeles International Airport and
Santa Barbara, including commuter flights, rental cars and
bus service, particularly the Santa Barbara Airbus, which
has several scheduled pick-ups daily from LAX.  Please
phone them directly at (805) 964-7759 for more information.
Or, you can send them a fax at (805) 683-0307.

Complimentary Shuttle Service:
------------------------------
UCSB Campus Conference Services will provide complimentary
Shuttle Service to campus from the Santa Barbara Airport
ONLY.  The shuttle vehicle will be marked "UCSB
Conferences."  Pick-up will be in front of the terminal or
near the baggage area.  If you do not see the shuttle
vehicle, call the Anacapa Residence Hall Desk at 893-2189.
Please make sure to write this number down so that you can
easily access it upon your arrival.

Car:

UCSB is readily accessible from US 101.  When driving
north on US 101 (from LA), travel through Santa Barbara and,
about 10 miles north of Santa Barbara, take the Airport/UCSB
Highway 217 exit which leads directly onto campus.  When
driving south on US 101 (from San Francisco), take the
Storke Rd./UCSB exit, travel about 1 mile on Storke turning
left onto El Colegio Road which leads directly onto campus.
When entering campus, stop at the campus gate and request
directions to Anacapa Residence Hall; however, if you will
be arriving on Wednesday and especially if you are NOT
residing on campus, you may wish to ask for directions to
the University Center, where registration will continue to
take place and the conference sessions will be held.

Parking:
--------
Parking at UCSB is by permit only.  When you arrive
at UCSB you can receive directions and a temporary parking
permit from the gate attendant by identifying yourself as an
ACH/ALLC attendee.  This temporary permit will need to be
replaced with the permit you will receive either when you
check-in at the Residence Hall or during Registration if you
are staying off-campus.  Parking is complimentary for those
residing in the Residence Hall.  Please indicate with the
Desk Staff at check-in if you will be needing a permit.
Attendees residing off-campus may purchase a weekly parking
permit by indicating this on the Registration Form.  There
is a substantial savings in purchasing a weekly pass, as the
daily parking rate is $5.00.  Parking citations are issued
for failure to display permits and/or parking in incorrect
areas.

Oops, rereading my text I realize that again it is not quite clear
what exactly the poet wanted to express. When speaking about
"recently", I meant since about mid-seventies. These facts have been
widely published and consequences discussed in literature and subject
of many dissertations through the world's universities. Thanks for
the correction and apologies to conspiracy theory adepts.

Interesting opinion and rather a new to me. I would be grateful if you
show your sources you are basing this opinion on.

I had a book edited in 1911 or 1913 in the USA where American Slovaks
exclaimed "we want Sopron, we want the northern side of the Balaton".
Fortunately, history went an another way - imagine the instabilites if
roughtly a half of the Slovakia's population was non-Slovak.

Sorry, I am not able to give more precise information about the book
it has been probably confiscated by the commies after I escaped from
Czechoslovakia. I bought it in an Antikvariat in Prague in late seventies
and doubt it will come again under my eyes...

Yes, it's sorrowful. There ideed are people who try to come with some
revolutionary ideas every six months. The problem is when these revolutionary
ideas are all the same all the time. Don't be upset: the guy does it
routinely as to throwing such texts into arena and waits the gladiators to
be upset. There are such Slovaks, but fortunately, there are different
Slovaks as well.
