SPECIAL TAHNKS TO .....

First, I would like to thank Dr. Marita Kayamanidou for her entuxiastic dedication to this Conference: she designed the initiative, attended the whole Conference and guided the chair persons of the four working groups; she is presently co-editing the final Proceeding volume. A special thank is due to her collaborators Livia Stella and Giuseppe Borsalino.

I am very grateful to Prof. Vlachos, Prof. Lieber and Prof. Papadopoulos: they acted as perfect working group leaders, guiding the scientific presentations with their science and determination.

I am deeply undebted to the experience and capacity of Prof. Dogan Altinbilek: without his support and guidance the event should not have been possible.

A special thank is due to my secretary Maria Incerti: she organized from the beginning the circulation of the information, received and checked the papers, organized the meeting and took care that everything had to run smoothly.

.... And obviously special thanks for

the Conference sponsoring organizations and to all participants.
