As we are planing to ask the ALLC-ACH 94 organizers to
include in their conference programme a special session on
"Computer Generated Literature" (CGL), we are gathering
submissions on this very topic. These will be forwarded all
together to the ALLC-ACH 94 selection comittee with our proposal
for a special session.

CGL, in its broadest sense, includes, among others, these
research fields:

- animated typography, animated poetic video
- sound and spatial poetry
- computer generated poetry, theater and fiction
- computer generated scripts, scenarios and tales
- interactive literature, poly-auctorial literature

Papers could deal with the following research topics:

- literary text generators: theoretical or practical
approaches
- methods and programming environments for generator
developpment
- historical or typological survey of CGL
- pedagogical applications
- legal implications (copyright), commercial implications
(publication, distribution)
- relationships between CGL and literary institutions
and archiving facilities
and libraries of the future
and genetic studies
and critical studies
- particular project or realization in CGL
