ABSTRACT
In the last ten years, major trends in academic computing have included a number of particularly interesting changes: 1) increases in CPU capacity, 2) increases in baud rates, 3) the substitution of terminals for card readers, 4) the shift from batch to interactive systems, and 5) the development of computerized text processing. The development of academic text processing has been substantial in several areas of application. This paper will present an overview of the past, present, and possible future of one of these areas: the processing of large and/or complex texts, a task which in this paper will be referred to as “document composition.”

Improving formatting documents by coupling formatting systems
DocEng '03: Proceedings of the 2003 ACM symposium on Document engineeringIn this paper, we present a framework for coupling an existing formatting system such as SMIL[7] and Madeus[13] with a formatting control system XEF[10]. This framework allows the coupling process to be performed at two levels: 1) the language level, ...
Scholarly publications beyond pay-walls: increased citation advantage for open publishing
First, we aim to determine the total amount of scholarly articles freely available on the internet. Second, we aim to prove whether there exists a citation advantage for open publishing. The total scholarly publication output of Norway is indexed in ...
