SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an eight-day international seminar devoted
to the theory and the practice of software systems. Its program consists
of a series of invited talks given by prominent academic professionals
and researchers.  Contributed talks and posters of participants are also
included in the program of SOFSEM. The working language is English.
                   -------------------------------
Invited talks and contributed talks are published by Springer-Verlag in
the  "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" series and distributed at the
seminar.

 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | Sofsem'97 is the 24th in the series of Sofsem seminars held annually.|
 | It is intended to foster cooperation among people working in various |
 |   areas of computer science. Its scientific program offers a unique  |
 |       opportunity to gain a relatively quick and representative      |
 |        overview about the selected parts of computer science,        |
 |                    presented by top researchers.                     |
 |   Its social program provides an optimal framework for discussions,  |
 |  meetings, contact establishing, and socializing. Especially suited  |
 |                 for young computer scientists.                       |
