N2 - It is shown that the type IIA, IIB and heterotic superstring actions can be interpreted as the (8c, 8s), (8c, 8c) and (8c, 0) superconformally invariant two-dimensional singleton field theories of the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter supergroups OSp( 8 2, R)c⊗OSp( 8 2, R)s, OSp( 8 2, R)c and OSp( 8 2, R)c⊗Sp(2, R), respectively.
