Opis

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd International Seminar on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Informatics, SOFSEM '95, held in Milovy, Czech Republic, in November 1995. The SOFSEM seminars are held annually and aim at fostering cooperation among and high-level continuing education of computer scientists active in different areas.
The book presents 17 invited full papers by renowned researchers as well as 22 revised refereed papers selected from 52 submissions. The 17 invited papers cover more than 350 pages and give a representative overview of fundamental issues, databases, software engineering, parallel and distributed systems and scientific computing, and multimedia and hypertext; the selected papers are devoted to special aspects of the same topics.
