Description and Table of Contents

Description

These proceedings form an analysis of the nonperturbative aspects of strings, branes and supersymmetry. Issues addressed include supermembranes and the Matrix theory; non-supersymmetric strings; superembeddings; aspects of the M5-brane; and domain walls and the universe.
