The FINAL MANUSCRIPT of the Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on 'Direct and Inverse Methods in Radar Polarimetry: This is the second ARW in a series of three NATO-ARW's dealing with direct and inverse methods in electromagnetic sensing, imaging and target identification versus clutter discrimination with applications to electromagnetic wideband, wide area surveillance of the terrestrial and planetary deep-earth, surface to atmospheric environments. During the first NATO-ARW-IMEI'88 (NATO-ASI, Series C-143, 1985), we assessed the inverse methods in electromagnetic imaging primarily for solving radar scattering problems, including mathematical and numerical inversion techniques and signal and image processing with specific emphasis on the vector (polarization) nature of electromagnetic fields. The resulting two part Proceedings are highly praised in the international literature resulting in an extraordinary high sales record which encouraged us to plan, to organize and execute this second ARW on the more specific topic of Direct and Inverse Methods in Radar Polarimetry : NATO-ARW-DIMRP'88 (NATO-ASI, Series C-350, Parts 1 & 2, 1981) emphasizing advancements made in polarimetric radar (POL-RAD) and in polarimetric synthetic-aperture radar (POL-SAR) theory, metrology, signal/image processing, and polarimetric technology.

This foreword deals exclusively with the planning, organization, and execution of the Workshop's scientific as well as cultural programs. It is opened with a synopsis on how the global political changes that occurred immediately after the Workshop caused the ~elay in producing the proceedings, followed by a brief exposition on need, timeliness, and importance of this second ARW in the field of electromagnetic imaging, radar remote sensing, and target versus clutter di~rimination; and an outline of the objectives. An informal discussion about some of the organizational details, a retrospective summary of events, and a preview of the third workshop, planned for 1993 September 19-25, is intended to recapture the spirit of this second NATO Advanced Research Workshop (1988 September 18-24), and will reveal how successful it was in compar ison to the first of 1983 September 18-24, how its accomplishments may be appreciated and why a third and last workshop was requested by its participants to take place during 1993 September 19-25.

When, in the spring of 1979, H.P. Baltes presented me with the precursor of this vo 1 ume, the book on "Inverse Source Problems in Opti cs", I expressed my gratitude in a short note, 11hich in translation, reads: "Dear Dr. Ba ltes, the mere titl e of your unexpected gift evokes memori es of a period, which, in the terminology of your own contribution, would be described as the Stone Age of the Inverse Problem. Those were pleasant times. Walter Kohn and I lived in a cave by ourselves, drew pictures on the walls, and nobody seemed to care. Now, however, Inversion has become an Industry, which I contemplate with as much bewilderment as a surviving Tasmanian aborigine gazing at a modern oil refinery with its towers, its fl ares, and the confus i ng maze of its tubes." The present volume makes me feel even more aboriginal - impossible for me to fathom its content. What I can point out, however, is one of the forgotten origins of the Inverse Scattering Problem of Quantum Mechanics: Werner Heisenberg's "S-Matrix Theory" of 1943. This grandiose scheme had the purpose of eliminating the notion of the Hamiltonian in favour of the scattering operator. If Successful, it would have done away once and for all with any kind of inverse problem.
