Reihe: Lecture Notes in Computer Science

This volume contains selected papers from the symposium "New
Results and NewTrends in Computer Science" held in Graz,
Austria, June 20-21, 1991. The symposium was organized to
give a wide-ranging overview of new work in the field on the
occasion of the fiftieth birthday of the editor of the
volume.
Topics covered include: information on neural nets, ideas on
a new paradigm for informatics, hypermedia systems and
applications, axioms for concurrent processes, techniques
for image generation and compression, the role of data
visualization, object-oriented programming andgraphics,
algorithms for layout compaction, new methods in database
systems, the future of data networks, object-oriented
artificial intelligence, problems in data structures and
sorting, aspects of user interfaces, a theory of structures,
applications of cryptography, evaluation of Ada, results in
algorithmic geometry, remarks on the history of computers,
and a novel interpretation of machine learning.
In total, the 26 high-level contributions authored by
prominent experts from all over the world give an
up-to-date survey of almost all subfields of computer
science. The book is written in a style which is easy to
follow, and it is of interest for any computer scientist, be
it in research, teaching or practice.
