Annotation Proceedings of the November 2000 conference that addressed themes and trends in current research in computer science and informatic areas. The 29 contributions cover topics such as software engineering, object oriented analysis and design, distributed and collaborative computing, the World Wide Web, algorithms, artificial intelligence, security and cryptography in networks, and databases. Although this was the 30th conference, the cover and title page erroneously state that it was the 20th (XX). Lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
