• Sommario/riassunto: Das Vergaberecht ist eines der kompliziertesten Rechtsgebiete und verändert sich permanent. Hinreichend sichere Rechtskenntnisse sind ; auf Anwenderseite oft nicht vorhanden. Das Werk soll in die Lage versetzen, sich das Vergaberecht strukturell zu erarbeiten und ein Gesamtverständnis dieser komplexen Materie zu erlangen. Das Vergaberecht wird systematisch aufbereitet und praxistauglich dargestellt.; Procurement law is one of the most complicated areas of the law and is undergoing constant change. Often, individuals who must apply the law in practice lack sufficient legal expertise. Oriented to practical concerns, this work presents procurement law in a systematic fashion and aims to furnish an overall understanding of this complex subject.

• Sommario/riassunto: Welcome to the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Scale-Space and PDE Methods in Computer Vision. The scale-space concept was introduced by Iijima more than 40 years ago and became ; popular later on through the works of Witkin and Koenderink. It is at the junction of three major schools of thought in image processing and computer vision: the design of ?lters, axiomatic approaches based on partial di?erential equations (PDEs), and variational methods for image regularization. Scale-space ideas belong to the mathematically best-understood approaches in image analysis. They have entered numerous successful applications in medical imaging and a number of other ?elds where they often give results of very high quality. This conference followed biennial meetings held in Utrecht, Corfu, Vancouver and Skye. It took place in a little castle (Schl¨ osschen Sch¨ onburg) near the small town of Hofgeismar, Germany. Inspired by the very successful previous meeting at Skye, we kept the style of gathering people in a slightly remote and scenic place in order to encourage many fruitful discussions during the day and in the evening.
