The volume contains the 23 papers selected for presentation at the ESOP '88 Conference, Nancy 1988. The theme of the ESOP conferences is the design, specification and implementation of programming languages and systems. Particular emphasis is placed on work in which an implemented system embodies an important concept or formal model of programming in such a way that its usefulness is demonstrated. Among the five sections of the volume, the one on language implementation contains the most papers. Here a rather wide spectrum of aspects, ranging from language implementation problems on parallel architectures and optimization of functional programs to new concepts for programming environments is covered. Another large section consists of papers in the area of algebraic specification and type concepts. The papers in this section are devoted to issues such as polymorphism, subtypes and notions of implementation and reuse for algebraic specifications. Two further sections are devoted to new language concepts and novel approaches to program development and verification.

This volume contains the papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning (LPAR''99), held in Tbilisi, Georgia, September 6-10, 1999, and hosted by the University of Tbilisi. Forty-four papers were submitted to LPAR''99. Each of the submissions was reviewed by three program committee members and an electronic program com­ mittee meeting was held via the Internet. Twenty-three papers were accepted. We would like to thank the many people who have made LPAR''99 possible. We are grateful to the following groups and individuals: to the program committee and the additional referees for reviewing the papers in a very short time, to the organizing committee, and to the local organizers of the INTAS workshop in Tbilisi in April 1994 (Khimuri Rukhaia, Konstantin Pkhakadze, and Gela Chankvetadze). And last but not least, we would like to thank Konstantin - rovin, who maintained the program committee Web page; Uwe Waldmann, who supplied macros for these proceedings and helped us to install some programs for the electronic management of the program committee work; and Bill McCune, who implemented these programs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA-96, held in New Brunswick, NJ, USA, in July 1996.The 27 revised full papers presented in this volume were selected from a total of 84 submissions, also included are six system descriptions and abstracts of three invited papers. The topics covered include analysis of term rewriting systems, string and graph rewriting, rewrite-based theorem proving, conditional term rewriting, higher-order rewriting, unification, symbolic and algebraic computation, and efficient implementation of rewriting on sequential and parallel machines.

This volume contains the papers presented at the Sixteenth International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-16), held in Trento, Italy, July 7{10, 1999, and hosted by Istituto Trentino di Cultura { Centro per la ricerca scientic a e tecnologica (ITC-IRST). The year 1999 marks the 25th anniv- sary of CADE. Since their inception in 1974 at Argonne National Laboratory, the CADE conferences have matured into the major forum for presentation of research in all aspects of automated deduction. CADE-16 was one of the conferences participating in the 1999 Federated LogicConference (FLoC). FLoC'99was the second Federated LogicConference; the r st took place in 1996 and was hosted by DIMACS at Rutgers University, NewBrunswick, NJ.TheintentionoftheFederatedLogicConferences istobring together as a synergetic group several conferences that apply logic to computer science. Theother participatingconferences in FLoC'99were theEleventh Int- national Conference on Computer-Aided Veri cation (CAV'99), the Fourteenth IEEE Symposium on Logic inComputer Science (LICS'99), and the Tenth C- ference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA-99).Eighty-three papers were submitted to CADE-16: 67 regular papers and 16 system descriptions. Each of the submissions was reviewed by at least four programcommitteemembers, andanelectronicprogramcommitteemeeting was held through the Internet. Of the 83 papers, 21 regular papers and 15 system descriptions were accepted. In addition, this volume contains full papers by two of the four invited speakers, Erich Gr. adel and Robert Nieuwenhuis, along with an abstract of Tobias Nipkow's invited lecture. Zohar Manna gave an invited talk in a plenary session with CAV.
