Future of Text vol IVThe fourth annual Symposium on the Future of Text
will be held in London (and online) on the 4th of
October 2023. This is to announce ‘The Future of Text’
Vol IV which is now open for proposals (see
below).
This year we are focusing on text to extend
cognition in extended environments, from paper in
notebooks to reams of paper across tables and onto
walls, with screens, projections and head mounted
devices, interacted with directly as well as through
AI.
If you are able to attend on the day in London,
please contact mailto:frode@hegland.com as soon as
possible so that your name can be on the door for the
venue.

Declarative Amsterdam 5The fifth edition of Declarative
Amsterdam will take place on 2 and 3
November 2023 at the Science Park, Amsterdam. It
will be a hybrid conference with the opportunity to
attend live or online, for both attendees and
presenters.
The first day will feature tutorials, combining
presentations and hands-on sessions to give an
introduction to specific topics. The second day will
be a symposium, with shorter presentations. Speakers
can discuss new ideas, frameworks, applications of
declarative methods, and best practices.
Declarative techniques are a style of computing
that expresses the purpose of computation without
describing its control flow. It allows you to focus
on the ‘what’, rather than the ‘how’.
Declarative Amsterdam will have presentations on
past experiences, current trends and future
perspectives in fields such as functional
programming, declarative data modelling, databases,
XML and related technologies, JSON, CSS, semantic
web, data science, data visualization, grammars,
parsing, and domain-specific languages.
Balisage 2023Balisage
is the premier conference on the theory, practice,
design, development, and application of markup.
We solicit papers on any aspect of markup and its
uses, including XML, XSLT, xQuery, JSON, TEX,
Markdown, and many others. The conference will run
from 31 July to 4 August, and will be virtual again
this year, so local watch-parties are encouraged.
TUG 2023Following the very successful online meetings
of past years, the TEX Users Group
2023 meeting will take place at the Hotel
Collegium Leoninum, Noeggerathstrasse 34, 53111 Bonn,
Germany from July 14–16, with a Tagged PDF developers’
workshop on July 13; physically if possible but the
conference will be streamed.
Although primarily related to typesetting, many
aspects of LATEX markup are closely related to the
use of XML and the handling of
structured documents.
Declarative Amsterdam 4Following the last three years’ successful
editions of Declarative Amsterdam, the fourth
edition of Declarative
Amsterdam conference will take place at CWI
(Science Park, Amsterdam) on 7–8 November
2022.
We anticipate by November that we will be able
to hold the conference on-site, but we are planning
to broadcast and interact on-line as well. The first
day will feature tutorials, combining presentations
and hands-on sessions to give an introduction to
specific topics. The second day is a symposium, and
will consist of shorter presentations. Speakers can
discuss new ideas, frameworks, applications of
declarative methods, and best practices.
