This is an announcement for the upcoming fourth workshop in a series of
workshops on implementing the Unicode Standard and sponsored by the
Unicode Consortium.  This is the first time the workshop is being
offered in Europe.  Should you not be able to attend yourself, please
pass this notice on to somebody else who might be interested in
attending this workshop.
 
Unicode:
   Unicode is an international character encoding standard that
   encompasses all the world's national scripts in a 16bit code space.
   Unicode is a profile of the International Standard ISO 10646.
   Supported by most major computer and software vendors, Unicode greatly
   facilitates the development of internationally accepted software.  All
   currently used character sets can be transferred to Unicode.
 
Target Audience:
   Software developers, technical writers, managers or engineers
   developing or considering development of software for the international
   market.
 
Date and Time:
   December 3 and 4, 1992, 9am - 5pm
 
Location:
   The workshop will be held at the Holiday Inn in the German town of
   Sulzbach (Taunus).
 
Agenda:
   December 3 will feature a full day, professionally developed,
   lecture course covering the Goals and Architecture of the Unicode
   Standard.  It will address the problems posed by support for writing
   systems worldwide and how Unicode's design enables their solution.
   In addition, the course will explore several implementation strategies
   for Unicode and illustrate them with specific examples.  December 4
   will feature invited papers on implementation aspects of Unicode and
   its relation to other standards.  These seminar-style talks will cover
   specific, practical problems and point out solutions, as well as
   provide case studies and demonstrations of Unicode implementations
   underway.
