		==================================================

The Energy Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the United States 
Census Bureau have pledged some support for a small conference or workshop on 
ADVANCED COMPUTING FOR THE SOCIAL SCIENCES.  Thus the following applications
seem most suitable:
		
			Economics
			Planning 
			Sociology
			Geography and urban studies
			Transportation studies
			Policy analysis
			Government 


Topic areas include, but are not limited to

			Supercomputing
			Parallel processing
			Satellite tracking & imagery
			Expert systems
			Natural language processing 
			Databases and information retrieval 		
			Computer networks
			Advanced microcomputer applications

			
The conference is tentatively scheduled for either the Washington, D.C. area
or Williamsburg, Va. in October 1989.  No fee schedule has been proposed; 
however, any conference fees will be held to a reasonable level to permit
the broadest possible participation ($200 maximum).


Contributed papers will be accepted at a later date after submission details
have been finalized.  If you have an idea for additional topic areas, wish 
to receive additional conference information as it becomes available or 
are interested in submitting a paper, please contact
