Starbursts are important features of early galaxy evolution. Many
of the distant, high-redshift galaxies we are able to detect are in
a starbursting phase, often apparently provoked by a violent
gravitational interaction with another galaxy. In fact, if we did
not know that major starbursts existed, these conference
proceedings testify that we would indeed have difficulties
explaining the key properties of the Universe! These conference
proceedings cover starbursts from the small-scale star-forming
regions in nearby galaxies to galaxy-wide events at high redshifts;
one of the major themes of the conference proved to be
"scalability," i.e., can we scale up the small-scale events to
describe the physics on larger scales. The key outcome of this
meeting a" and these proceedings a" is a resounding "yes" as answer
to this fundamental, yet profound question. The enhanced synergy
facilitated by the collaboration among observers using cutting-edge
ground and space-based facilities, theorists and modellers has made
these proceedings into a true reflection of the state of the art in
this very rapidly evolving field.
Ample space is provided for summaries of the large number of
talks by experts in the field, while the high-quality poster
contributions are all contained on the accompanying CD-ROM, thus
enhancing the information content.
