Preface
This monograph contains the ceremonials and the Proceedings pertaining to
the WorkshopjMinisymposium on "Electromagnetics in a Complex World:
Challenges and Perspectives," convened at the University of Sannio, Ben
evento,Italy, from February20-21,2003,inconnectionwith thebestowalofan
honorary Laurea degree on Professor Leopold B.Felsen. The symposium was
co-organizedby ProfessorsInnocenzoM.Pinto and Vincenzo Galdi, inconsul
tation with Professor Felsen. The University of Sannio is a recently installed
fast-growinguniversityenrollingabout6,500undergraduateandgraduatestu
dents in its various programs (Law, Economics, Engineering, Sciences). The
College of Engineering presently comprises 50 faculty members and about
1,500students.
The degree bestowal ceremony took place in the morning of February 20,
2003, and is documented (in English) in its entirety here in Part VI of these
Proceedings (because of the international character of this two-day event,
the program booklet provided for attendees of the degree award ceremony
was printed in Italian and English). After a brief greeting by Prof. Aniello
Cimitile, the President of the University ofSannio, Professor Pinto, who had
originally proposed Prof.Felsen's nomination, delivered (in Italian) a detailed
Laudatio, a laudatory discourse on the nominee's accomplishments and per
sonality. This was followed by the nominee's Lectio, a retrospective covering
his professional life as well as his social and cultural background, presented
(in English) in a mixed style laced with humor, and comprisingprose, verses,
visuals, and photographs. Next, Professor Michele Di Santo, the Dean of the
Engineering Faculty, enunciated the formal citation in behalf of the faculty,
and the ceremony ended with the actual bestowal of the degree, Laurea hon
oris causa for "OutstandingSeminal Contributions to Wave Propagation and
Electromagnetics," by the President. The format was in tune with long tra
ditions, and Prof. Pinto's final remarks were actually delivered in Latin, as
recorded in Part VI of these Proceedings without translation.
Boththedegreeceremony,andthe minisymposium which followedit, took
place in venerable (former ecclesiastical) historic surroundings in the old sec-
VI Preface
tion of Benevento. The city originated as "Malies," a Samnite town, later
known as "Maleventum", from Latin "male" (bad), or "Malventum". It was
renamed "Beneventum", from Latin "bene" (good),bytheRomans, aftertheir
victory over Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, in a battle there in 275 B.C. Because
of its pivotal location on the Appian Way, Benevento became an important
town and a basefor Roman expansioninsouthernItaly.Aftersufferingpartial
destruction by Totila, King ofthe Ostrogoths in 545 A.D., Benevento became
in 571 A.D. the capital of an important Longobard Duchy which ruled over
most of southern Italy. In the 11th century, the town was governed first by
the Byzantines, and thereafter by the Papacy. From then on, with the excep
tion of a brief period (1806-15), when it was governed as a principality by
Napoleon's minister Talleyrand, Benevento was ruled by the Papacy until it
became part of the Italian Kingdom in 1860. The degree ceremony was held
in the University "S. Agostino Auditorium".
The minisymposium, held in the University "S. Domenico Auditorium",
was organized to provide an opportunity for Prof.Felsen's colleagues, collab
orators and former students to celebrate this event with him. The program
structure and related issues are discussed in the introductory paper (by L. B.
Felsen) ofPart Iofthese Proceedings.Sufficeit to say that the various contri
butions, in Parts I-V, from scientists and engineers in academe and industry
address diverse problems in electromagnetics, either on a broad scale or in
particular specialties.The wide-ranging topics and techniques, analytic mod
els (with phenomenologies) and numerical simulations - motivated by actual
or potential applications to real-world problems - are intended to stimulate
interdisciplinary exchange. In addition to the papers presented at the sym
posium, four contributions have been included from authors who intended to
participate but were prevented from doing so.
The symposium dinner during the evening of February 20 was a special
affair which tookplaceattheMustilli'sfarmhouse inS.Agatadei Goti,asmall
village outside Benevento. The Mustilli family is one of the most renowned
winemakers in Italy. The dinner was held in an eighteenth-century house,
and was preceded by a tasting of wines and a guided tour of the ancient
wine caves. Entertainment during the dinner consisted of (mostly humorous)
reminiscences about Professor Felsen by his family (who had accompanied
him) and by former andpresentscientific collaborators.Thesymposiumended
with a closing session duringwhich a variety oftechnical issues were clarified,
and opportunities for collaboration among participants explored.
The organizers are indebted to various individuals and organizations for
their support of this event. Acknowledged in particular are: The Faculty of
Engineering and Department of Engineeringofthe University ofSannio, Agi
lent Technologies, Alcatel, Ericsson Lab Italy, FondazioneUgo Bordoni, H3G,
TIM, WIND, and Ente Provinciale per il Turismo di Benevento. L.B. Felsen
also acknowledges partial support from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn,
NY, USA. Special thanks are due to Prof. Bruno Bisceglia, sj, Dr. Giuseppe
Castaldi, Dr. Rocco P. Croce, Dr. Theo Demma, and Dr. Vincenzo Fiumara
Preface VII
of the Waves Group (University of Sannio and University of Salerno), and to
Dr.IrmaDi Donato (UniversityofSannio, President Office), fortheirvaluable
contributions to the symposium organization.
Finally, the editors express their sincere appreciation to all participants
in the symposium, many of whom had to make the necessary arrangements
to attend at short notice, and who also cooperated by submitting their final
manuscripts within tight deadlines imposed to ensure timely publication of
these Proceedings. Because of the time pressure, each manuscript has been
published in its final submitted form, without prior iteration between the
authors and editors.Therefore, results, opinions and conclusions are each au
thor's own and do not necessarily imply concurrence by the editors. For some
authors from non-Englishspeaking countries,this may have led to use ofnon
standard grammar or phraseology, without necessarily diminishing technical
clarity.Theeditorssuggestthat thesecircumstancesreflect theactualdynam
icsat internationalconferences held in a particular language, and thereby add
color to these Proceedings.
