From August 27 to 31, 2000, the International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science in Schloss Dagstuhl, Dagstuhl for short, celebrated its 10th anniversary. Since its founding in 1990, the objective of the Center has been to promote world-class research in computer science, support leading-edge continuing education, and promote the exchange of knowledge and findings between academia and industry. It hosts research seminars at which promising young research scientists are afforded the opportunity of discussing their views and research findings with the international elite of their field in a specific cuttingedge field of computer science. The seminars enable new ideas to be showcased, topical problems to be discussed, and the course to be set for future development in this field. Roughly 15 000 scientists from all over the world and from all areas of computer science as well as from application areas have participated in about 500 meetings in Dagstuhl during these 10 years. They have all enjoyed the “Dagstuhl Magic”, as several guests have called it, guaranteeing creative and productive meetings.
