Preface

On October 8–9, 2008, we organized an IEEE MTT-S International MiniSymposium on Electromagnetics and Network Theory and its Microwave Applications at Munich University of Technology (TUM), Munich, Germany. This symposium was dedicated to Peter Russer on the occasion of his 65th birthday and his retirement. During his career as researcher in the field of Electromagnetics and Network Theory Peter Russer achieved not only a multitude of outstanding scientific results but he also had the special gift to bring researchers together and to build up an international network of scientists in this field. This network was base of the successful symposium which provided an international forum for the discussion of the challenges and perspectives of electromagnetics and network theory and their microwave applications in various aspects. Invited presentations have been given by Josef A. Nossek of TUM, President of Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies, VDE, Franz X. Kärtner of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, and of course by Peter Russer, TUM. In oral sessions and an interactive forum 48 reviewed scientific contributions were presented. Half of those contributions have been further extended now to be comb
