The 24th annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical Computer
Science will take place in Bologna, Italy, July 7-11 1997. ICALP '97 comes
in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the foundation of EATCS.
To celebrate the SILVER JUBILEE, this edition of ICALP includes several new
events:

- Celebration of EATCS and of its founders (keynote speaker M. Nivat)

- Invited Lectures on major advances in theoretical computer science since
  EATCS has been established:
        R. Milner (Cambridge)           M.O. Rabin (Jerusalem and Harvard)
        C. Papadimitriou (Berkeley)     D.S. Scott (Pittsburgh)

- Invited Lectures on the state of the art and new promising trends:
        K.R. Apt (Amsterdam)            K. Mehlhorn (Saarbrucken)
        R.J. Lipton (Princeton)         D. Perrin (Paris)

- A panel on ` Funding Policies for Theoretical Computer Science' with
representatives from major research agencies and form the European Community.

- A number of Satellite Workshops, listed below, on theory and applications.

The Program Committee represents both tracks of the journal Theoretical
Computer Science, covering `algorithms, automata, complexity and games'
and `formal methods, logic, semantics and theory of programming' equally. 
If enough good papers are submitted, parallel sessions will be organised.
