Overview

It is well known that stellar winds are variable, and the fluctuations are often cyclical in nature. This property seems to be shared by the winds of cool and hot stars, even though their outflows are driven by fundamentally different physical mechanisms. Since very similar models have been proposed to explain the cyclical wind variations observed in a wide variety of stars, it was felt the time was ripe for astrophysicists from many different sub-disciplines to present the state of the art in a consice form. The proceedings should provide a useful overview of observations, interpretation, and modelling of the time-dependent mass outflows from all sorts of stars.
