Reihe: Lecture Notes in Computer Science

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS '96, held in Crakow, Poland in September 1996.
The volume presents 35 revised full papers selected from a total of 95 submissions together with 8 invited papers and 2 abstracts of invited talks. The papers included cover issues from the whole area of theoretical computer science, with a certain emphasis on mathematical and logical foundations. The 10 invited presentations are of particular value.
