Quo Vadis Strangeness? Strangeness - Open Questions

Abstract

The study of strange and also charmed hadronic particle production in nuclear relativistic collisions offers an opportunity to explore the physical properties of the deconfined quark-gluon phase. We survey the recent accomplishments and the future directions of this research program.

20pages including 5 figures in J.Phys format, Summary talk presented at the International Conference Strangeness in Quark Matter held in Padova, July 1998 v2 comprises more technical details
