Present and Future of High-Energy Physics

Recently, the collaboration between theory and experiments
in high-energy   physics has become again more fruitful,
important and practically               indispensable. The contributions
to this volume clearly summarize, in terms of the standard
model of elementary particles, the present understanding      of
high-energy physics and present an outlook how to go beyond
this      standard model. Phenomenological aspects are stressed
outlining possible      extensions of the standard model with
main topics covering higher order      corrected electroweak
interactions, CP violation, quark flavour mixing,      lattice
QCD, and dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. Many                     new
experiments are described to explore high-energy physics
either by   the highest available accelerators or by very
high precision experiments forrare processes. Including a
variety of theoretical models proposed beyond   the standard
model, it presents a global knowledge and a balanced view         of
high-energy physics reaching beyond this decade.
