A speech interface is particularly valuable in an environment where hands and eyes are busy and voice output (such as alerts and instructions) and voice input (of commands and data entry) offer additional communication paths. This voice capability is now found in other contexts, such as professional workstations and telecommunications systems. The papers in this session discuss the state of the art in speech synthesis and recognition technology and describe current applications, including the growing market for voice mail. AF1PS Press, the publishing arm of the American Federation of Information Processing Societies, proudly announces the availability of its 1987 publications catalog. Called the 1987 Best Sellers Catalog, the new format includes more than 300 publications and videos for computing and information processing professionals, including researchers and educators. The catalog lists AFIPS publications and, for the first time, includes titles from 2l other technical publishers. Designed as a \"one-stop shop\" for computing and information processing publications, the catalog lists: conference proceedings, journals and newsletters, texts, software, videocassettes, encyclopedias and directories as well as sources of information on technical and policy issues, software languages, human factors and ergonomics, hardware and software design, educational computing, operating systems, legislation, history, and a variety of computing applications.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "ANNOUNCEMENTS EUROPEAN ACL ELECTION RESULTS", "sec_num": null }, { "text": "The catalog should be used by professionals, librarians, and bookdealers who need easy reference to information on computing.

However, it is not always easy to locate the descriptions of the research and development being done world wide. Not only is there a host of new journals appearing but also a great part of the work is described in memoranda series from university departments and research laboratories, and one must subscribe to these series individually to receive the abstracts of their papers. An additional difficulty impeding smooth and rapid communication of results is the fact that research work, when published in the open literature, appears not only in journals using phrases like Artificial Intelligence or Machine Intelligence but also under closely related descriptions such as Expert Systems, Knowledge Based Systems, Logic Programming, Fifth Generation Systems, Cybernetics, Human-Computer Interface, and Pattern Recognition. Much original work in these fields also appears in journals within Linguistics, Psychology, Logic, and Philosophy.Artificial Intelligence Abstracts will tackle these problems both for researchers in all those fields and for the wider community that needs urgent access to this work. It will be published six times a year by Blackwells of Oxford and contain about 250 abstracts in each issue (starting in January 1987). These will be in a standard format with subject descriptors and an indexing code with a hierarchical classification of the whole field.Research institutions, journal editors, and individual researchers are encouraged to send abstracts to the editor of AIA directly: ", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "NEW ABSTRACTS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ABSTRACTS", "sec_num": null } ], "bib_entries": {}, "ref_entries": { "TABREF0": { "html": null, "text": "Computational Linguistics.
