The Working Conference was attended by 54 participants from 16 countries. The objectives of Working Group 7.5 are: to promote modern structural systems optimization and reliability theory, to advance international cooperation in the field of structural system optimization and reliability theory, to stimulate research, development and application of structural system optimization and reli ability theory, to further the dissemination and exchange of information on reliability and optimization of structural systems to encourage education in structural system optimization and reliability theory. At present the members of the Working Group are: A. H.-S. Ang, U.S.A. M. Grimmelt, FRG G. A ugwti, Italy N. C. Lind, Canada M. J. Baker, UK H. O. Mad&en, Denmark P. Bjerager, Norway R. E.
