May 5 - 7 , 1993. Atlanta, GA. Papers are sought from those using, developing, a n d specifying software and standards for chemical a n d physical d a t a . Two main subject areas will be covered: chemical s t r u c t u r a l information standards and analytical laboratory information standards, emphasizing data portability in analytical chemistry and surface science. Topics include database design; data visualization, including presentation, publication, a n d readability; d a t a modeling; data acquisition, including content requirements; database and application design; and data interchange systems, including repositories, dictionaries, access tools, a n d formats. LIMS and instrument interfacing are beyond t h e scope of t h e symposium. Authors should submit titles, 500-word abstracts, and ASTM submittal forms by May 4 to Dorothy D. Savini, ASTM, 1916 Race St., Philadelphia, PA 19103-1187 (215-299-5413; fax 215-977-9679).
