During the past years, a number of international astronomical
conferences were held at the Remeis-Observatory in Bamberg, four of
them sponsored by the International Astronomical Union. The first
meeting was organized in 1959 and dealt with Variable Stars, the
last one was held in 1981 and focussed on 'Binary and Multiple
Stars as Tracers of Stellar Evolution'. The present conference was
organized to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of
Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel, who was born in Minden on July 22, 1784,
and died in Konigsberg on March 17, 1846. When the plan for an
international conference on astrometric binaries was presented to
several colleagues, we received enthusiastic support and decided to
pursue the idea. A Scientific Organizing Committee was soon
established, consisting of: Z. Kopal Manchester, u.K. S. M. Gong
Nanjing, China (Chairman) M. Grewing Tiibingen, F.R.G. V. Abalakin
Pulkovo, U.S.S.R. P. v. d. Kamp Amsterdam, Netherlands J. Dommanget

Italy J. Rahe Bamberg, F.R.G. W. Fricke Heidelberg, F.R.G. Ya.
Yatskiv Kiev, U.S.S.R. E. H. Geyer Bonn, F.R.G. The meeting took
place in Bamberg at the Remeis-Observatory, Astronomical Institute
of the University Erlangen-Nurnberg, from June l3 to 15, 1984. The
following institutions generously supported the meeting: Deutsche
Forschungs- gemeinschaft, Bonn; Stadt Bamberg; Universitat Bamberg;
Universitat Erlangen- Nurnberg; University of Manchester.
