Description
A brief review of the papers presented at this workshop is given. Of the two major questions about asymptotia - relations between the sources and the asymptotic field of space-time and the existence and smoothness property of solutions of the field equations admitting a null infinity, only the second was addressed. Two contributions dealt with existence questions of solutions with certain asymptotic properties, the rest concerned extensions or refinements of already know results or approaches to certain questions. On singularities and global structures although many papers were presented no really new ideas emerged - the fundamental questions seem to be too complicated to be solved with the mathematical tools available.
