The meeting gathered 71 participants from 12 countries. The conference was dedicated to the memory of one of the gratest mathematicians of the past century, Professor Paul Erdös, who was the invited speaker at the Second Cracow Conference on Graph Theory, and died in Warsaw in September 1996.

Kazimierz Dolny, the site of the conference, is a beautiful renaissance town locates at the Vistula river. Its charm and peace created by mild climate, beautiful flora and historic relics stimulated the atmosphere of our meeting.
