In this volume is presented the proceedings of a NATO Advanced
Study Institute (ASI) on the theme of Electromagnetic Modelling and
Measurements for Analysis and Synthesis Problems. The ASI was held
at 11 Ciocco, Castelvecchio Pascoli, Tuscany, Italy, August 10th -
21st, 1987. It has been my good fortune to act as co-director of
two of Jozef's previous ASIs, and so I am well acquainted with the
JKS format for ASIs. As participants will realise, I did not attend
this ASI, and so I only have a partial appreciation of the
programme. In particular it has not been possible to include
transcripts of any panel discussions which may have taken place.
Readers may recall that such transcripts have formed a most
interesting and useful part of previous ASI proceedings edited by
Jozef Skwirzynski, and helped to convey the spirit of the meetings.
Unfortunately it has proved impossible to locate the tapes, despite
the best efforts of Jozef's assistant, Barry Stuart. A further
dificulty has arisen through the untimely death of Jozef's former
deputy and colleague at GEC Research, Ed Pacello, who assisted
Jozef with the organisation of the precursor of this ASI. The
following is taken from original material relating to the aims of
the Advanced Study Institute: "PURPOSE OF THE INSTITUTE This
Institute is concerned with computer modelling and with
experimental measurements as two complementary tools for both
analysis and synthesis of electromagnetics (EM), infra-red (IR) and
optical problems.

English and the community functions on the basis of a variety of
ethnic institutions that operate in the immigrant's own mother
tongue. These include local stores and markets, churches, clubs,
welfare agencies and other organizations that serve the needs of
the local population. Frequently employment opportunities in occupa
tions where English is unnecessary are also available to men and
women in the neighbourhood. These ethnic neighbourhoods exhibit a
high degree of functional interdependence which would be severely
disrupted by urban renewal schemes involving widespread clearance.
The proposed extension of freeways could give rise to problems in
this respect. Even the "spot clearance" schemes of a more limited
kind would have more serious social and human repercussions in such
areas in view of the high incidence of "doubling." It is
significant that certain planning areas in which urban renewal has
already proceeded, such as the Don area including the Regent Park
public housing scheme, have consisted predominantly of native-born
Canadians of British origin. The experience gained in these schl
mes is not likely to be a useful guide to the probable consequen
-;es of improvement and other schemes in those areas with a mt l"e
heterogeneous population. An examination of the population .::
haracteristics in those areas designated for renewal in the future
suggests that the social effects and human implications of these
plans may be somewhat different from past experience."
