In my opinion (I may be prejudiced), this will be an absolutely
first-rate technical conference.  The papers to be presented were
carefully selected from an excellent set of submissions and cover
a wide spectrum of current and future applications of C++ as well
as the latest developments in programming tools and in the
language itself.  The tutorials are developed and presented by
outstanding, well-known professionals with experience in both
applying and teaching the concepts they have created.

The deadline for pre-registration for the Usenix C++ Conference is July
21, 1992 (on-site registrations will be accepted, but at a higher
fee).  You can fax your registration to Usenix headquarters.  It is
also important to get your hotel reservations in right away or you may
have to stay down the street in another hotel.

  Advanced Topics Workshop (Friday)
  The focus of this year's workshop will be representations
  of C++ programs as the basis for tools for C++ software
  development.
  . What information should be included in the internal
  representation
  . Building the representatin using full and fuzzy parsers
  . Using and modifying the representation in programming tools
  This workshop will provide a forum for representation
  developers to explain their design decisions and for
  tool developers to describe what an ideal representation
  for C++ should offer.
  Admission is by invitation only.  Anyone wishing an
  invitation must submit a one or two page position paper
  describing their interest in the topic of the workshop.
  Authors of papers submitted to the conference are invited
  automatically.
