Klappentext
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 34th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2008, held in Nový Smokovec, Slovakia, in January 2008. The 57 revised full papers, presented together with 10 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 162 submissions. The papers are organized in four topical tracks on foundations of computer science; computing by nature; networks, security, and cryptography; and Web technologies.
