Abstract.An account of some important convergence structures is presented. Among them we discuss set-convergence spaces in the sense of Wyler and preuniform convergence spaces in the sense of Preuß. Both form topological universes, and they seem to be good candidates for an intrinsic study within the realm of convenient topology. By bringing them together we consider as a basic concept uniform filters converging to bounded subsets. Thus, in special cases, we recover the constructs of set-convergence spaces and preuniform convergence spaces and moreover obtain an interesting generalization of Cauchy-spaces, here considered as b-filter spaces. This now enables us to simultaneously express generalized ``topological" and ``uniform" aspects by common means.

This paper is dedicated to my TOP-father Gerhard Preuß
on the occasion of his sixtyfifth birthday
