The 25th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in
Computer Science (WG'99) celebrated the anniversaryof the workshop
series at the Centro Stefano Franscini on Monte Verit'a, Ascona,
Switzerland, from June 17 to 19, 1999. It was organized byETH
Zurich, sponsored byETH, the Centro Stefano Franscini, the Swiss

committee throughout the entire historyof WG talked about past
achievements and future challenges of WG and of the ?eld. Susanne
Albers lectured on the theoryof online algorithms. Thomas Lengauer

manufacturing industries, as well as their solutions. A workshop
held at the Centro Stefano Franscini traditionallyo?ers a talk that
is open to the general (Italian speaking) public - Nicola Santoro
delivered this Stefano Franscini talk byreporting on computer
science, school, and community, as seen from the eye of the storm.
