As it was said by one of the participants to this workshop" In our
attempts to understand the spectral evolution of galaxies, we are
fortunate indeed to have the ability to look back in time and
observe galaxies as they were billions of years ago. Perhaos in no
other discipline is it possible to gain such a direct view to
hJstory. The galaxies we seek to study are remote, their light
faint, and thus only recently has it become technicaJlv feasible to
sample the spectra of normal luminosity galaxies at lookback times
of five billion years or more" .... or, perhaps. even to see
galaxies in the process of their formation. or shortly afterwards.
This fourth workshop organized by the "Advanced School ot Astronomy
was indeed centered on the "Spectral Evolution of Galaxies." on
reviewing and discussing the relevant astrophysical processes and
on assessing our current ability to model and understand the
evolution of stellar populations. Following an opening session
dealing with some outstanding questions of galaxy evolution.
Session I addressed the specific problems of galaxy and star
formation processes. topics of uncertainty and controversy to which
IRAS observations may give novel perspectives. The properties of
stellar populations in the local group of galaxies formed the basis
of Session II. Session III dealt with the fundaments of the theory
of spectral and photometrical evolution of stellar populations. and
with recent developments in the theory of stellar structure. a
necessary step to model and understand galactic evolution.
