The key-point of this talk will be some exploration of
function spaces concepts arising from time-frequency analysis
respectively Gabor Analysis. Modulation spaces and Wiener
amalgams have proved to be indispensable tools in time-frequency
analysis, but also for the treatment of pseudo-differential
operators or Fourier integral operators.

Given the limited time we will concentrate on the spaces
$\SORdN, \LtRdN$ and the dual space $\SOPRdN$ (the space
of {\it mild distributions}), also known as modulation spaces
$\MiRdN$, $\nspb \MtRd$ and $\MinfRdN$ respectively.

This will be a bottom up talk, with applications
coming first. In this sense the talk is an experimental one, trying
to test modern tools, both mathematical tools
and presentation tools.
