Abstract
On the way to settle a conjecture proposed by Mackey, we first present in detail a complete solution to the correspondence problem for systems whose configuration space isR n. We then indicate how this can be considered as a first step in the elaboration of a geometric dequantization program which would extend the results to more general manifolds.
