The impetus for the present volume was provided by a European conference
held at St. Martens Latem (Belgium) in September 1994 and sponsered by
the Directorate General XII (Science, Research and Development) of the
European Commission. Preparation of the volume was also financially
supported by the Direc- torate General. The editor, the contributors and
all the participants in the conference are grateful to the European
Commission for the generous help received. vii CONTRIBUTORS Hennann
