Moreover, half a day will be dedicated to anexcursion, followed by the conference dinner in the evening. We aimto provide plenty of time between the formal sessions for attendees tomingle and converse, since we believe this to be a very valuableaspect of the conference.<p>As in previous years we will seek to publish the main proceedings as avolume of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science, and also tocontinue the tradition of offering a venue for the presentation ofwork-in-progress. The latter will be published as a separatevolume. Both volumes will be prepared in time to be available for theconference.<p>Our computer science building at the Campus Garching providesexcellent facilities for lectures, coffee breaks, lunch, and Internetconnectivity via WLAN.<H4>Organising Committee</H4><UL><LI> <A HREF="http://www4.in.tum.de/~nipkow/">Tobias Nipkow</A><LI> <A HREF="http://www4.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/">Makarius Wenzel</A><LI> <A HREF="http://www4.in.tum.de/~berghofe/">Stefan Berghofer</A><LI> <A HREF="http://www4.in.tum.de/~urbanc/">Christian Urban</A></UL><H4>Travel and Accomodation</H4><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich">Munich</a> is situatedat the heart of Europe, the <ahref="http://www.munich-airport.de/en/consumer/index.jsp">MunichAiport</a> is an important European hub for international flights fromaround the world.<p><div id="map_canvas" style="width: 300px; height: 170px"></div><p>The <a href="http://www.in.tum.de/campus/index.html.en">CampusGarching</a> is located 10 km north of the city of Munich.
