This international proceedings couldn't have been produced at such
short notice without the total support, dedication, sacrifice and true
professionalism that are displayed by all the authors representing
various organisations from many parts of the world. We are indeed
very grateful for their invaluble contributions. We are also grateful to
Mr Piers Burnett and his efficient staff at Kogan Page for putting up
with our excuses and for producing such high-quality workmanship in
such a short time.
