The workshop on Automated Deduction in Geometry held in Toulouse, France, September 27-29, 1996 brought together 20 active researchers (from Austria, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and USA) working on various aspects of the workshop's subject. At the workshop were given 16 presentations including two one-hour invited talks by Deepak Kapur and Volker Weispfenning, with both insight surveys and original research contributions. The workshop represents the current state of the art and its scientific level is very high.
