This proceedings volume includes all the invited talks and oral presentations at the International Symposium on Clustering Aspects of Quantum Many-Body Systems, 12–14 November 2001, Kyoto, Japan. It discusses various features of clustering aspects — localization of particles in static and dynamical contexts — of nuclear and atomic systems. It also presents many recent theoretical developments in quantum few-body and many-body problems. This book will be useful to graduate students and researchers in the field of quantum many-body problems, especially to those who want to understand the system properties beyond the mean-field description.
