The rapid progress in research on mass-losing pulsating stars has now taken us far from its early photographic light variation study to the world of massive photometry and interferometic observations. However, some fundamental problems - such as the pulsational mode and the mass-loss mechanism - remain a mystery. In this volume modern theoretical works are confronted with up-to-date observations, while active discussions indicate the directions of future research. Among the subjects presented in this workshop are: results of massive photometry; pulsation and properties of mass-losing stars; optical and infrared observations of circumstellar matter; radio and mm observations of circumstellar matter; distribution of maser sources in the Galaxy; and VERA and other future projects.
