On behalf of the Association for Terminology and Knowledge Transfer - Gesellschaft für Terminologie und Wissenstransfer (GTW) - we are pleased to announce the 5th International Congress on Terminology and Knowledge Engineering TKE '99 which will be held on the campus of the University of Innsbruck, Austria, between 23-27 August, 1999.

In continuation of the first four TKE Congresses in Trier (1987 and 1990), Cologne (1993) and Vienna (1996), TKE '99 will address world-wide interests in the interdisciplinary methods of

• Terminology Science,
• Information Science,
• Computer Science.

It should furthermore help achieve the universal availability of information and knowledge via computerized methods, multimedia content-oriented net applications and other tools, open up new horizons for more efficient applications based upon this integration of methodologies and elicit the interest and participation of experts working in the fields that are gradually drawing nearer in terms of theory and methodology such as

• Knowledge engineering
• Language engineering
• Computational philosophy
• Classification theory
• Information & documentation
• Computer-assisted instruction/learning
• Computerised terminography
• Specialized translation
• Technical writing
• Culture-related aspects of terminology

Duly taking into account recent developments such as multilingual information processing, new media and multi-/hypermedia, the emerging information super-highways, new pedagogical and didactic requirements in multimedia, legal aspects of information interchange, social and cultural impact, etc. the conference is subdivided into the following sections and workshops. The first will address theoretical problems and questions regarding each topic whereas the workshops cater for more application-oriented issues.

The Proceedings of TKE '99 are published in advance by TermNet. There will be one volume of the Proceedings including all papers in topic order. The proceedings will be available for the participants at the beginning of the Congress.

The authors (see program for confirmed contributions) have submitted a full paper for the conference proceedings which are printed prior to the Congress.

Papers may be presented in English, German or French. There will be no interpretation service. The proceedings are printed exclusively in English.

Within the framework of the TKE Conference an exhibition will be organized from Wednesday through Friday which will present systems, services, institutions, projects and publications in the fields discussed. The stands will be located in front or alongside the conference rooms and in the vicinity of the location of the coffee breaks.

How to get to Innsbruck
Thanks to its geographical situation at the very heart of Europe, Innsbruck is easily accessible from all four points of the compass.

By plane: Tyrolean Airways, one of Europe's biggest regional airlines, operates direct services, some of them several times a day, between Innsbruck and a number of major European centers such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Zurich and Vienna. Agreements signed with Air France, KLM, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and Swissair ensure full coordination with those airlines and with international timetables for optimum connections worldwide.

Innsbruck Airport is located at some 3 km from the city center which can be easily reached either by the public bus or by taxi. Please note: make your flight reservation early since the planes flying to Innsbruck only have a limited number of seats. You may, however, also fly into Munich airport which is situated at about 1 ½ hours drive (150 km) from Innsbruck.

By train: Eurocity trains connect Innsbruck with Zurich (driving time 3 ½ h), Munich (2 h), Vienna (5 h) and Bolzano (2 h). The main railway station is located close to the downtown area, to the main hotels and to the University (some 20 min. walk).

Accompanying Persons' Excursion

Swarovski Crystal Worlds. Thursday, 26 August 2.00-5.30 pm
In the small town of Wattens, situated a few miles from Innsbruck, the Swarovski Crystal Worlds opened their doors to the public in October 1995. Through the huge water-spouting head of the botanic giant the visitor enters the mostly subterranean, unique magic World of Crystal (idea and artistic supervision by Andre Heller, the famous Austrian performance artist). You have to experience yourself what is hard to describe: a view of the surreal landscape of a glittering galaxy, the inside of a gigantic crystal dome with changing patterns of light and sound, bizarre scenarios - a world of magic.

Price per person incl. bus, tour guide and admission fees	ATS 340.- 25 EUR
Minimum number of participants:	25 persons
