oompiler teohnilogy to reaeh Ihe peopleAttendees at COMPCON 75 Spring in San Francisco are going to learn

that people ... plain, ordinary people ... are exerting an ever-growinginfluence on the design and application of computers. Acknowledgedleaders in comrputer technogy ffom around the world will be on handto describe how machhies are becoming more and more responsive tohuman needs. They'll also discuss their latest work in a workshop-styleatmosphere. You, as an attendee-participant are encouraged to get inyour two cents worth, too (and to deflate overblown theories if you can).That's only the tip of COMPCON Spring's up-to-the-minute technologicaliceberg, because experts will also be concentrating on the most relevantphases of software, hardware and applications.

COMPCON will feature sessions and numerous papers on: how soft-ware can be made reliable; languages, program construction and the likein the human interface; software for microprocessors, plus a stimulatingpanel session on micros and the software revolution; there will be twofact-filled sessions on software engineering, including the latest in

dynamic memory storage, compilers, extensible text editors, queueingnetwork models and program languages; plus we're going to look at databases (info to the people) and, finally, power to the people - how com-puters are being used at the grass roots. Hardware sessions will coverthe wide gamut of computer games, architecture, pipelined structures,microprocessor design (with another first-level panel on design tradeoffs),I/O devices, hardware for consumer electronics and a complete look atmini and micro-based systems. There's more, too. Applications sessionwill probe computer technology in the fields of retailing, banking, trans-portation, publishing, health, education, security and privacy. You can'tafford to miss this important conference.

A separate Tutorial on LSi Microprocessors kicks off COMPCON onMonday, followed by three days of stimulating sessions. Don't miss anyof it.
