CAAP '92

This volume contains selected papers presented at the
seventeenth Colloquiumon Trees in Algebra and Programming
(CAAP) held jointly with the European Symposium on
Programming (ESOP) in Rennes, France, February 26-28, 1992
(the proceedings of ESOP appear in LNCS 582). The previous
colloquia were held in France, Italy, Germany, Spain,
Denmark and England. Every even year, as in 1992, CAAP is
held jointly with ESOP; every other year, it is part of
TAPSOFT (Theory And Practice of SOFTware development). In
the beginning, CAAP was devoted to algebraic and
combinatorial properties of trees and their role in various
fields of computer science. The scope of CAAP has now been
extended to other discrete structures, like graphs,
equations and transformations of graphs, and their links
with logical theories. The programme committee received 40
submissions, from which 19 papers have been selected for
inclusion inthis volume.
