This volume contains the proceedings of the 18thInternational Symposium on Mathematical Foundations ofComputer Science, MFCS '93, held in Gdansk, Poland,August-September 1993.The MFCS symposia, organized annually in Poland and theformer Czechoslovakia since 1972, have a long andwell-established tradition. Over the years they have servedas a meeting ground for specialists from all branches oftheoretical computer science, in particular- algorithms and complexity, automata theory and theory oflanguages,- concurrent, distributed and real-time systems,- the theory of functional, logic and object-orientedprogramming,- lambda calculus and type theory,- semantics and logics of programs,and others. The volume contains 12 invitedlectures and 56contributed papers selected from 133 submissions.
