"(Regarding the1997 DSL Conference) Papers presented were of such
uniformly high quality that the program committee was unable to
single out one for special commendation. Interest in the BOFs was
so great that initial plans to run them concurrently were shelved
in favor of a consecutive schedule. Overall, I believe the
conference was a great success!"
