SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Discrete Structural Optimization held in Zakopane, Poland from 31 August - 3 September, 1993. The aim of the symposium was to bring together active researchers in structural optimization and provide a forum for the exchange of results and ideas and point out directions for research in this fast-growing field.
