dc.descriptionWe argue that recent data on fluctuations observed in heavy ion collisions show non-monotonic behaviour as function of number of participants (or "wounded nucleons") N_W. When interpreted in thermodynamical approach this result can be associated with a possible structure occuring in the corresponding equation of state (EoS). This in turn could be further interpreted as due to the occurence of some characteristic points (like "softest point" or "critical point") of EoS discussed in the literature and therefore be regarded as a possible signal of the QGP formation in such collisions. We show, however, that the actual situation is still far from being clear and calls for more investigations of fluctuation phenomena in multiparticle production processes to be performed.
