Book excerpt: The 'Conference on Future Directions in Distributed Parameter Systems' brought together experts, whose research represented a broad spectrum of applications quantified by distributed parameter systems, and younger researchers focusing on specific facets of distributed parameter systems. A primary goal of the conference was to establish through plenary lectures the state of the art, open questions and important future research directions in a variety of applications and to pass the perspectives along to researchers in these areas. The conference also facilitated interaction between academic scientists and researchers from government laboratories and industry. The perspectives and recommendations provided in the plenary lectures will be published in a future volume.
