The atmospheres of many stars have chemical compositions that are
significantly different from that of the interstellar medium from
which they are formed. This symposium considered all kinds of
late-type stars showing altered compositions, the carbon stars
being simply the best-known of these. All stages of stellar
evolution from the main sequence to the ejection of a planetary
nebula were considered, with emphasis on the changes that occur on
the asymptotic giant branch. The spectroscopic properties of the
photospheres and circumstellar envelopes of chemically-peculiar red
giant stars, their origins via single-star evolution or mass
transfer in binary systems, and the methods currently used to study
them were all discussed in detail. This volume includes the full
texts of papers given orally at the symposium and abstracts of the
posters.
