1. 'SOFSEM' (SOFtware SEMinar) is a two-week international informatics
 winter school organized annually in Czech/Slovak republics. Its aim
 is to present the state-of-the-art activities across a wide spectrum
 of Computer Science. The programme has two kinds of presentations:

 Invited Talks (tutorials by prominent researchers in the field)
 Contributed Talks (presentations of original research contributions
 by SOFSEM participants)

 SOFSEM'94 is the 21st in the series of SOFSEM seminars held annually
 and follows many successful meetings; 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 recreation. Especially suited for PhD students and young computer
scientists.
