Although these three classes of materials are quite distinct, the commonality of the physics of the origin and descrip- tion of these incommensurate structures is striking and evident in these proceedings. A measure of the success of this conference was the degree to which interaction among the three subgroups occurred; this was facili- tated by approximately equal amounts of theory and experiment in the papers presented. We thank the University of Colorado for providing pleasant housing and conference facilities at a modest cost, and we are especially grate- ful to Ann Underwood, who retyped all the manuscripts into camera-ready form.
