We are concerned here with question: to what extent can the structure of a group G be recaptured from information about the structure of its group of automorphismsAut G? For example, one might try to find all groups which have some specific group astheir (full) automorphism group, a point of view adopted by Iyer in a recent paper [5]. Nothing is known about this question in general except the result of Nagrebeckü [7] that there are only finitely many finite groups with a given group as automorphismgroup.
