These proceedings contain the presentations of a NATO-Russian - vanced Research Workshop (ARW) held at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) near Karlsruhe, Germany, attended also by most of the members of the Explosive Detection Working Group  (EDWG) of the Advisory Panel on Security-Related Civil Science and Technology . The ARW, approved by the NATO Science Committee, is the ?fth NATO- Workshop during the last 3 years dealing with the detection of explosives in connection with counter-terrorism. The special goal of this workshop was the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the special ?eld of Stand-Off Detection  and to ?x the State of the Art  in this ?eld of research. At the end of the workshop proposals of Research & Development were presented (but not included in the proceedings), which were eva- ated by the present members of the EDWG during the following day of the workshop. One of the ?rst measures to counter the threat will be to stop the transport of illicit materials, that means in our case to detect explosive charges before they are initiated by terrorists.

Ambient intelligence (AI) refers to a developing technology that will increasingly make our everyday environment sensitive and responsive to our presence. The AI vision requires technology invisibly embedded in our everyday surroundings, present whenever we need it that will lead to the seamless integration of lighting, sounds, vision, domestic appliances, and personal healthcare products to enhance our living experience. Written for the non-specialist seeking an authoritative but accessible overview of this interdisciplinary field, True Visions explains how the devices making up the AI world will operate collectively using information and intelligence hidden in the wireless network connecting them. Expert contributions address key AI components such as smart materials and textiles, system architecture, mobile computing, broadband communication, and underlying issues of human-environment interactions. It seeks to unify the perspectives of scientists from diverse backgrounds ranging from the physics of materials to the aesthetics of industrial design as it describes the emergence of ambient intelligence, one of today's most compelling areas of innovation.

Theyear2007willbethecentenaryofthebirthofGiuseppe(Beppo)Occhialini. After about twenty-?ve years spent between England, Brazil and Belgium, in 1950 Occhialini returned to Italy. The following year, 1951, after a short period in Genoa, he won the chair of Modern Physics (Fisica Superiore) at the Universit` a degli Studi in Milan. At that time Occhialini was well known. His standing as a scientist on the inter- tional scene is evident in the photograph of the invited participants at the 1948 Solvay Conference. Occhialini remained in Milan up to his retirement in 1983. In 1951, his arrival gave new impetus to signi?cant research activities. The advances in this research rapidly spread throughout Italy and Europe and produced important scienti?c results in elementary particle physics, space physics and astrophysics. In particular through his continuous e?orts Occhialini contributed to the rejuvenation of Italian physics and astrophysics. He worked to build new research structures and to create the necessary support for the birth of space activities in Italy and in Europe.
