Summary

This book represents the refereed proceedings of the SFB-Workshop on C*-Algebras which was held at Münster in March 1999. It contains articles by some of the best researchers on the subject of C*-algebras about recent developments in the field of C*-algebra theory and its connections to harmonic analysis and noncommutative geometry. Among the contributions there are several excellent surveys and overviews and some original articles covering areas like the classification of C*-algebras, K-theory, exact C*-algebras and exact groups, Cuntz-Krieger-Pimsner algebras, group C*-algebras, the Baum-Connes conjecture and others.
