✦ Synopsis

This volume presents the invited lectures of the workshop "Infinite Dimensional Algebras and Quantum Integrable Systems'' held in July 2003 at the University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal, as a satellite workshop of the XIV. International Congress on Mathematical Physics. Recent developments in the theory of infinite dimensional algebras and their applications to quantum integrable systems are reviewed by some of the leading experts in the field. The volume will be of interest to a broad audience from graduate students to researchers in mathematical physics and related fields.
