This year the SOFSEM conference is coming back to Milovy in Moravia to th be held for the 26 time. Although born as a local Czechoslovak event 25 years ago SOFSEM did not miss the opportunity oe red in 1989 by the newly found freedom in our part of Europe and has evolved into a full-?edged international conference. For all the changes, however, it has kept its generalist and mul- disciplinarycharacter.Thetracksofinvitedtalks,rangingfromTrendsinTheory to Software and Information Engineering, attest to this. Apart from the topics mentioned above, SOFSEM’99 oer s invited talks exploring core technologies, talks tracing the path from data to knowledge, and those describing a wide variety of applications. TherichcollectionofinvitedtalkspresentsonetraditionalfacetofSOFSEM: that of a winter school, in which IT researchers and professionals get an opp- tunity to see more of the large pasture of today’s computing than just their favourite grazing corner. To facilitate this purpose the prominent researchers delivering invited talks usually start with a broad overview of the state of the art in a wider area and then gradually focus on their particular subject.

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.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Seminar on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Informatics, SOFSEM '96, held in Milovy, Czech Republic, in November 1996.The volume presents a unique collection of 19 invited papers competently surveying the field. These papers are organized in sections on fundamentals, distributed and parallel computing, AI and control systems, databases and electronic documents, scientific computing and visualization, programming and software engineering. Also included are 22 refereed and thoroughly revised contributed research papers selected by the program committee for inclusion in the proceedings.
