The Mira variables make important contributions to four of the main problems under discussion at this meeting, (1) stellar pulsation, (2) stellar evolution, (3) the morphology and history of the Galaxy, (4) the comparative study of different galaxies. The Miras also show how these rather different fields of study overlap, so that it is no longer possible to deal with any one field in isolation.
