In February, 1974, an 'International Workshop on Membrane Transport
in Plants' was held at the Nuclear Research Centre, JLiI ich, West
Germany. More than two hundred and fifty people, from fourteen
countries, took part in this highly successful meeting. A somewhat
similar meeting took place in Liverpool, England, two years ago and
it became clear there that progress in the field of membrane
transport in plants was now so marked that a second, and wider,
meeting in Germany was more than fully justified. The members of
our pro gramme committee (U. Zimmermann, Chairman, JLilich (FRG);
J. Dainty, Toronto (Canada); F. FLihr, JLilich (FRG); N.
Higinbotham, Pullman, Wa. (USA); A. B. Hope, Adelaide (Australia);
A. Lev, Leningrad (USSR); U. LLittge, Darmstadt (FRG); HW.
NLirnberg, JLilich (FRG); E. A. C. MacRobb-ie, Cambridge (UK); H.
Stieve, JLilich (FRG); M. Thellier, Rouen (France); K. Wagener,
JLilich (FRG)) decided on a broad spectrum of topics including
thermodynamics of transport processes, water relations, primary
reactions of photosynthesis, as well as the more conventional
aspects of membrane transport. They were thus, for instance,
particularly concerned to bring advanced thermodynamical concepts
to the attention of biologists and to show physical chemists what
the more complex biological systems were like. We have taken
considerable editorial liberty with the manuscripts submitted for
this book, for we were very conscious of the necessity to make all
papers understandable by as wide a circle of readers as possible."

The volume contains a selection of manuscripts of lectures
presented at the International Symposi- um on Operations Research
(SOR 96). The Symposium took place at the Technical University of
Braunschweig, September 3-6, 1996. SOR 96 was organized under the
auspices of the two German societies of Operations Research,
Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Operations Research (DGOR) and
Gesellschaft fur Mathematik, Okonomie and Operations Research
(GMOOR) in cooperation with the Working Group Discrete Optimization
of the IFIP (WG7.4). Since 1995, DGOR and GMOORjointly prepare the
Symposium as a common annual conference. In particular, the annual
general meetings of the DGOR, the GMOOR and the WG7.4 took place
during the conference. The Symposi~m had 527 participants from 32
countries around the world, including 92 partici- pants from
Eastern Europe. The Symposium obviously attracts an international
audience of workers fully covering the broad spectrum of Operations
Research and related areas in economics, mathema- tics and computer
science. The importance of a highly interdisciplinary field as
Operations Research is increasing owing to the growth in
applications in related disciplines. Technological advances in
computer science and algorithmic mathematics are crucial for
attacking the great challenges waiting in the areas of applications
of Operations Research effectively. As a participant of SOR 96 one
could well observe the current pace of achievements. Many of these
results are in these proceedings. The program consisted of two
plenary, 17 semiplenary, and 335 contributed lectures in 18
sections.
