                           CALL FOR PAPERS



        The Small College Computing Symposium was established in 1967
to foster widespread use of computers for research and instruction in
small colleges and universities.  It is now one of the largest
conferences on computers and education, annually attracting hundreds
of educators from colleges and universities throughout the Midwest and
other part of the country.  The SCCS addresses computer science
education and the use of computers in a small college environment in
all academic areas including humanities, social sciences, business,
nursing, health science and traditional sciences.

Theme of the Symposium

        The main theme of the conference in 1991 is "New Computing Trend
for Small colleges and Universities in The 1990's".  Technical papers and
proposals for panel sessions are sought in the areas related to the theme
of the conference.  Some specific areas of interest include artificial
intelligence, parallel processing, software engineering, object-oriented
programming/databases, computer ethics, networking, programming languages,
hypertext systems, the use of computers in the arts, sciences, medical and
business fields, computing services and the future academic computing in
small college/university.  Other topics related to the themes of computing
and education in small colleges are also welcome.  There will also be a
special student track to which students are encouraged to submit
papers about their research work.  At least one author of student
papers must be a full-time undergraduate or graduate student enrolled
in an accredited college or university.  In addition, there will be
tutorials held in conjunction with the conference.

Papers and Panels

         Papers should be no more than 10 pages in length, and should
have a separate cover page including the title, authors, affiliation,
a list of keywords and an abstract of no more than 250 words.  Panel
session proposals must include a title, organizer's name, a one-page
abstract along with the names and resumes of at least three panelists
who have agreed to participate in the panel session.

Deadlines

         Submit 5 copies of drafts of papers or 3 copies of panel session
proposals by November 15, 1990 to Shaun-inn Wu, conference
co-chair, at the address below.  Submissions should be accompanied by
a cover letter that include a mailing address, e-mail address (if available),
telephone number and a clear indication if the paper is submitted to
the student paper track.  Authors will be notified by February 1, 1991.
Camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be due March 1, 1991 for
inclusion in the conference proceedings.  Authors of accepted papers
are expected to sign a copyright release form.
