                     ASSOCIATION FOR SURVEY COMPUTING

           BEYOND THE SCATTERGRAM: COMMUNICATING SURVEY RESULTS

          A One-Day Conference to held on Friday, January 5, 1996
                                    at
                         Imperial College, London

                  FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The ASC's next one-day conference will be concerned with communication and
will present new ideas which enhance the effective transfer of the results
of survey and related research to users. It will cover both presentation
methods which facilitate user understanding (especially using graphics and
analyses based on graphics) and communication media which facilitate user
access. The innovation may lie either in the application of existing ideas
in original ways or through the use of new techniques and technologies.

Papers are invited which address at least one of the following topics:

o   Overviews: the state of the art in particular application areas, or
    new ideas which are expected to have a major impact

o   Examples: positive examples of effective communication which are
    attractive, efficient or appropriate, including some indication of
    the nature of the problem and the reason for the choice of the
    solution

o   Methods: more general ideas about the use of graphics, movies, sound
    and general multi-media techniques (and analytical methods based on
    these) for communicating statistical ideas.

o   Media: the impact of new access technologies, such as CD-ROM, the
    Internet and World Wide Web

Intending speakers should send an abstract of 250-500 words by e-mail, fax
