=================== Invitation to ============================
       Unicode / ISO 10646 Implementers Workshop #5

              Tokyo, Japan, April 11-12,1994



 The Unicode Standard


 Unicode is a 16-bit character encoding standard that is code-for-code
 identical to the international standard ISO/IEC 10646. The standard
 encodes the characters from the world's principal scripts, allowing
 the conversion to and from all major national, international and vendor
 code set standards.

 With its simple and efficient approach to special and modified characters,
 The Unicode Standard defines a new degree of data portability between
 platforms and across borders. Software (especially modern, distributed
 applications) can be adapted for use in particular countries
 far more easily than when existing character sets are used.

 The Workshop

 This workshop is the fifth in a series of Unicode / ISO 10646 hosted by the
 Unicode Consortium, and provides a forum to bring together experts and
 practitioners in areas ranging from character sets to the development
of software
 systems designed to meet the challenges of today's global
 markets.

 At the workshop, character encoding experts as well as experienced
 software designers will focus on implementation aspects of Unicode
 and its relation to ISO/IEC 10646. They will cover specific practical
 problems, identify solutions, as well as provide case studies of Unicode
 implementations already available or under way.

 To maximize the benefit of your attendance, you will receive a set of
 printed  workshop materials and cross reference tables on diskette.
 Refreshments will be provided for you throughout the workshop.

 The conference language is English.

 Target Audience

 Managers or engineers who are responsible for the development of
 software using Unicode /ISO 10646.  Technical writers may also benefit.

 AGENDA

 Mr. Kazuya Watanabe, President of Novell Japan, Ltd, will deliver the
 keynote address.

 April 11
  A half day tutorial on the principles and architecture of the Unicode
  Standard, and basic concepts of its implementation. Special emphasis will
  be given to topics related to scripts used in East Asia.

 April 11 and 12
  A series of presentations on particular implementation aspects or case
  studies.

  Code Set Conversions: How to convert efficiently between Unicode and other
    coding systems, in particular Shift-JIS.
  Combining Characters: How to treat combining characters in processing and
    display.
  Program Migration: How to adapt existing software source code to work
    with Unicode.
  Distributed Computing: The specific challenges of supporting Unicode in a
    heterogeneous environment.
  Functions for Unicode: a proposed set of APIs for basic Unicode
support in the
    model of XPG4
  Unicode and Japanese - Approaches to implementing a Japanese system using
    Unicode / ISO 10646

 Additional presentations are planned that  will provide information on
 how to implement unified ideographs, support corporate and user
 characters or methods to compress Unicode text.

 The Unicode Consortium

 The Unicode Consortium was founded in 1991 as a non-profit
 organization. In addition to cooperating with ISO in refining
 the specification and expanding the character set, the
 Unicode Consortium is responsible for defining the behavior
 and relationships between Unicode characters, providing
 technical information to implementers, and promoting
 both the Unicode Standard and ISO 10646.

 Today, the membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes
 major computer corporations, software producers, database vendors,
 research institutions, international agencies and various user groups.
