The conference will be part of the Israeli Federated Computing Conference (IFCC). The IFCC will also include the Fifth Israeli Symposium on the Theory of Computing and Systems (ISTCS), which will take place in Ramat-Gan on June 17-19, 1997, and the Fifth Bar-Ilan Symposium on the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (BISFAI) which will take place on June 16-18, 1997. Some joint sessions and workshops with ISTCS and BISFAI will be held, including the "Karp Challenge" workshop on the afternoon of June 18 devoted to the interaction of computing theory and industrial applications. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Israel Chapter.
