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

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
--> - hypertextual literature

Papers could deal, among others, 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
--> - CGL publications on computer readable medium
