The 1998Annual Conference of the EuropeanAssociation for Computer Science Logic, CSL 98, was held in Brno, Czech Republic, during August 24-28, 1998. CSL 98wasthe12thinaseriesofworkshopsandthe7thtobeheldasthe Annual Conference of the EACSL. The conference was organized at Masaryk University in Brno by the Faculty of Informatics in cooperation with universities in Aaachen, Caen, Haagen, Linz, Metz, Pisa, Szeged, Vienna, and other institutions. CSL 98 formed one part of a federated conferences event, the other part being MFCS 98, the 23rd Int- national Symposium on the Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science. This federated conferences event consisted of common plenary sessions, invited talks, several parallel technical programme tracks, a dozen satellite workshops organized in parallel, and tutorials. The Federated CSL/MFCS 98 Conferences event included 19 invited talks, four of them joint CSL/MFCS 98 talks (D. Harel, W. Maass, Y. Matiyasevic, and M. Yannakakis), four for CSL (P. Hajek, J. Mitchell, Th. Schwentick, and J. Tiuryn), and eleven for MFCS. Last but not least, two tutorials were organized by CSL on the day preceding the symposium on Inference Rules in Fragments of Arithmetic by Lev Beklemishev and on Proofs, Types, and Safe Mobile Code by Greg Morrisett. A total of 345 persons attended the Federated CSL/MFCS 98 Conference which was a great success. The program committee of CSL 98 selected 27 of 74 papers submitted for the conference.From the 27 papers selected for presentation,25 havebeen accepted, following the standard refereeeing procedure, for publication in the present p- ceedings. Three invited speakers submitted papers, that were likewise refereeed and accepted.
