Riassunto

This proceedings volume contains papers presented at the Third Scientific Meeting of the IFIP Working Group on "Reliabilty and Optimization of Structural Systems". The contributions reflect recent developments in the field of modern structural systems optimization and reliability theory and point out directions for further research. Also perspectives for the education in this field were discussed.
