The symposium was co-organizedby ProfessorsInnocenzoM.Pinto and Vincenzo Galdi, inconsul tation with Professor Felsen. The University of Sannio is a recently installed fast-growinguniversityenrollingabout6,500undergraduateandgraduatestu dents in its various programs (Law, Economics, Engineering, Sciences). The College of Engineering presently comprises 50 faculty members and about 1,500students. The degree bestowal ceremony took place in the morning of February 20, 2003, and is documented (in English) in its entirety here in Part VI of these Proceedings (because of the international character of this two-day event, the program booklet provided for attendees of the degree award ceremony was printed in Italian and English). After a brief greeting by Prof. Aniello Cimitile, the President of the University ofSannio, Professor Pinto, who had originally proposed Prof.Felsen's nomination, delivered (in Italian) a detailed Laudatio, a laudatory discourse on the nominee's accomplishments and per sonality. This was followed by the nominee's Lectio, a retrospective covering his professional life as well as his social and cultural background, presented (in English) in a mixed style laced with humor, and comprisingprose, verses, visuals, and photographs. Next, Professor Michele Di Santo, the Dean of the Engineering Faculty, enunciated the formal citation in behalf of the faculty, and the ceremony ended with the actual bestowal of the degree, Laurea hon oris causa for "OutstandingSeminal Contributions to Wave Propagation and Electromagnetics," by the President. The format was in tune with long tra ditions, and Prof. Pinto's final remarks were actually delivered in Latin, as recorded in Part VI of these Proceedings without translation. Boththedegreeceremony,andthe minisymposium which followedit, took place in venerable (former ecclesiastical) historic surroundings in the old sec- VI Preface tion of Benevento. The city originated as "Malies," a Samnite town, later known as "Maleventum", from Latin "male" (bad), or "Malventum". It was renamed "Beneventum", from Latin "bene" (good),bytheRomans, aftertheir victory over Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, in a battle there in 275 B.C. Because of its pivotal location on the Appian Way, Benevento became an important town and a basefor Roman expansioninsouthernItaly.Aftersufferingpartial destruction by Totila, King ofthe Ostrogoths in 545 A.D., Benevento became in 571 A.D. the capital of an important Longobard Duchy which ruled over most of southern Italy. In the 11th century, the town was governed first by the Byzantines, and thereafter by the Papacy. From then on, with the excep tion of a brief period (1806-15), when it was governed as a principality by Napoleon's minister Talleyrand, Benevento was ruled by the Papacy until it became part of the Italian Kingdom in 1860. The degree ceremony was held in the University "S. Agostino Auditorium". The minisymposium, held in the University "S. Domenico Auditorium", was organized to provide an opportunity for Prof.Felsen's colleagues, collab orators and former students to celebrate this event with him. The program structure and related issues are discussed in the introductory paper (by L. B. Felsen) ofPart Iofthese Proceedings.Sufficeit to say that the various contri butions, in Parts I-V, from scientists and engineers in academe and industry address diverse problems in electromagnetics, either on a broad scale or in particular specialties.The wide-ranging topics and techniques, analytic mod els (with phenomenologies) and numerical simulations - motivated by actual or potential applications to real-world problems - are intended to stimulate interdisciplinary exchange. In addition to the papers presented at the sym posium, four contributions have been included from authors who intended to participate but were prevented from doing so. The symposium dinner during the evening of February 20 was a special affair which tookplaceattheMustilli'sfarmhouse inS.Agatadei Goti,asmall village outside Benevento. The Mustilli family is one of the most renowned winemakers in Italy. The dinner was held in an eighteenth-century house, and was preceded by a tasting of wines and a guided tour of the ancient wine caves. Entertainment during the dinner consisted of (mostly humorous) reminiscences about Professor Felsen by his family (who had accompanied him) and by former andpresentscientific collaborators.Thesymposiumended with a closing session duringwhich a variety oftechnical issues were clarified, and opportunities for collaboration among participants explored. The organizers are indebted to various individuals and organizations for their support of this event. Acknowledged in particular are: The Faculty of Engineering and Department of Engineeringofthe University ofSannio, Agi lent Technologies, Alcatel, Ericsson Lab Italy, FondazioneUgo Bordoni, H3G, TIM, WIND, and Ente Provinciale per il Turismo di Benevento. L.B. Felsen also acknowledges partial support from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY, USA. Special thanks are due to Prof. Bruno Bisceglia, sj, Dr. Giuseppe Castaldi, Dr. Rocco P. Croce, Dr. Theo Demma, and Dr. Vincenzo Fiumara Preface VII of the Waves Group (University of Sannio and University of Salerno), and to Dr.IrmaDi Donato (UniversityofSannio, President Office), fortheirvaluable contributions to the symposium organization. Finally, the editors express their sincere appreciation to all participants in the symposium, many of whom had to make the necessary arrangements to attend at short notice, and who also cooperated by submitting their final manuscripts within tight deadlines imposed to ensure timely publication of these Proceedings. Because of the time pressure, each manuscript has been published in its final submitted form, without prior iteration between the authors and editors.Therefore, results, opinions and conclusions are each au thor's own and do not necessarily imply concurrence by the editors. For some authors from non-Englishspeaking countries,this may have led to use ofnon standard grammar or phraseology, without necessarily diminishing technical clarity.Theeditorssuggestthat thesecircumstancesreflect theactualdynam icsat internationalconferences held in a particular language, and thereby add color to these Proceedings.
