Overview: In the early fifties, applied mathematicians, engineers and economists started to pay c10se attention to the optimization problems in which another (lower-Ievel) optimization problem arises as a side constraint. One of the motivating factors was the concept of the Stackelberg solution in game theory, together with its economic applications. Other problems have been encountered in the seventies in natural sciences and engineering. Many of them are of practical importance and have been extensively studied, mainly from the theoretical point of view. Later, applications to mechanics and

Overview: “What a di?erence a year makes – 52 little weeks” This variation of the ?rst line from Dinah Washington’s famous song, which originally reads, “What a di?erence a day makes - 24 little hours,” brings it to the point: Accordingtoallexperts,thepress,andmostpeople’simpressionwearetoday in a serious economic recession. Less than one year ago, we practically lived on the “island of the blessed” (namely, at Networking 2008 that was held on the island of Singapore), or in the famous country where “milk and honey ?ow” (or “where wine and liquor ?ow”). This convenient situation has changed ab

Overview: .In the last years, after the discovery of molecular nanomagnets showing novel quantum effects, a renewed interest for the study of molecular magnetism and multifunctional molecular materials has emerged. These materials have triggered an intense research activity also in view of their possible applicabilities as, for example, as nanosized information storage units and as magnetic nanoparticles for bio-medicine. Several fundamental aspects of the microscopic static and dynamic properties of these molecular materials have been obtained by means of spectroscopies using local probes, as

Overview: Having accepted the task to organize, in Amsterdam, an international Congress in behalf of the International Sodety for Neurovegetati‘V‘e Research such as is held every second year, it occurred to me that it might be worth­ while to change its usual pattern somewhat. Instead of giving merely the opportunity for l‘eading a nurnber of rather short free papers, more or less grouped in many categories, we decided to start with a symposium on a special topic ‘to be dealt with from several aspects by a numbe·r of invited speakers, the last day of the congress being only available for short

Overview: Wir befmden uns bereits ein gutes Stück auf dem Weg in die "Informationsgesellschaft". Ein wichtiger Schritt hierzu war die Anfang 1997 erfolgte Einigung aller wichtigen Han­ deisnationen zur weltweiten Liberalisierung des Telekommunikationsmarktes. Die Mobil­ kommunikation oder das Internet sind Beispiele fUr den rasanten Wandel. Welche Chancen und Gefahren die Informationsgesellschaft fUr den Einzelnen mit sich bringt, ist noch offen. Mit Sicherheit ist sie eine der zentralen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen auf dem Weg ins 21. Jahrhundert. Betrachtet man die technischen Aspekt
