In 1978 Edwin T. Jaynes and Myron Tribus initiated a series of
workshops to exchange ideas and recent developments in technical
aspects and applications of Bayesian probability theory. The first
workshop was held at the University of Wyoming in 1981 organized by
C.R. Smith and W.T. Grandy. Due to its success, the workshop was
held annually during the last 18 years. Over the years, the
emphasis of the workshop shifted gradually from fundamental
concepts of Bayesian probability theory to increasingly realistic
and challenging applications. The 18th international workshop on
Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods was held in Garching / Munich
(Germany) (27-31. July 1998). Opening lectures by G. Larry
Bretthorst and by Myron Tribus were dedicated to one of th the
pioneers of Bayesian probability theory who died on the 30 of April
1998: Edwin Thompson Jaynes. Jaynes revealed and advocated the
correct meaning of 'probability' as the state of knowledge rather
than a physical property. This inter pretation allowed him to
unravel longstanding mysteries and paradoxes. Bayesian probability
theory, "the logic of science" - as E.T. Jaynes called it -
provides the framework to make the best possible scientific
inference given all available exper imental and theoretical
information. We gratefully acknowledge the efforts of Tribus and
Bretthorst in commemorating the outstanding contributions of E.T.
Jaynes to the development of probability theory."
