This CD-ROM contains the abstracts of the oral and poster presentations given at AGILE 2007 in Aalborg, Denmark. The abstracts are alphabetically ordered after first author. Since the CD was burned before the final programme was completed, we chose to avoid misunderstandings and therefore have not identified session nor track of the presentations at the conference. We hope you will be able to manage anyway. If you open the file named index.pdx (inside the PDF folder on the CD) in Adobe Reader you can perform searches within all the pdf documents in that folder. For your convenience and in co-operation with Adobe, we have included the most recent versions of Adobe Reader on this CD.
