In total there were 34 submissions to the conference. We want to thank the program committee for putting this nice program together.

Thanks go to Anke Holler, Manfred Sailer, Heike Walker, Gert Webelhuth (chair), who were in charge of local arrangements.

As in the past years the contributions to the conference proceedings are based on the five page abstract that was reviewed by the respective program committees, but there is no additional reviewing of the longer contribution to the proceedings. To ensure easy access and fast publication we have chosen an electronic format.

The proceedings include all the papers except those by Danièle Godard and Anne Abeillé and Polly Jacobson.

The table of contents lists all the papers presented at the conference. Some papers were not submitted to the proceedings. For these papers, we suggest contacting the authors directly.

A list of BibTeX-Entries containing bibliographic information is also available.
