DESCRIPTION:Dwarf galaxies are the most common type of galaxy in the Unive
 rse and\ninclude the most dark-matter-dominated objects known.  They offer
 \nintriguing insights into evolutionary processes at low halo masses\nand 
 low metallicities.  Moreover\, as survivors of a once much more\nnumerous 
 population of building blocks of larger galaxies\, they are\nkey to unders
 tanding very early star formation processes.  The Local\nGroup and particu
 larly the Milky Way's dwarf galaxy entourage offer\nus the unique possibil
 ity to compare in detail dwarf and Galactic\npopulations. This is an impor
 tant step towards quantifying the\nmagnitude and time scales of dwarf cont
 ributions to the build-up of\nthe Milky Way and allows us to test predicti
 ons of cosmological\ntheories and hierarchical structure formation.\n
