The aim of this first international conference entirely devoted to the theory of elementary operators and their interrelations with and applications to other fields was both to give a comprehensive overview of the development of the theory of elementary operators since its beginnings at the end of the last century as well as to discuss some of the recent research done in this area. The volume also includes applications to algebraic properties of linear mappings (on rings as well as on Banach algebras), or to mathematical physics, and connections to related fields such as multiparameter spectral theory.
