PREFACE In continuation of a first Recursion Theory Week 1984 (see the Lecture Notes in Mathematics. Vol. 1441 (1985)). another such week took place in the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach from March 19 to March 25. 1989. Not only the formal talks but also many fruitful discussions and conversations contributed to the success of the meeting. All of us enjoyed the atmosphere and the facilities of the Forschungsinstitut and we express here our warm thanks to its director Professor Martin Barner and to its staff. once again. The papers contained in this volume provide a global view of the recent progress in the vast area of Recursion Theory as understood today. Unfortunately not all the papers given at the conference could be published here in order to meet the deadline we had set ourselves. taking into account the length of the usual refereeing process. The editors express their gratitude to all of the participants for their respective contributions: in discussions. in the talks given and in preparing the papers. We acknowledge with gratitude the
