Acknowledgements

Many of the papers in this volume were presented at a workshop that was part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project (LP0560659), and the rest were solicited from other leading researchers in the field. We wish to thank the ARC and the Australian Computer Society (ACS) for their support for the initial project. We would particularly like to thank the participants in the project, John Ridge, past president of the ACS and Chairman of the ACS Foundation, Professor Jeroen van den Hoven of Delft Technical University and Dr Jeremy Moss of the University of Melbourne. We especially thank Dr Yeslam Al-Saggaf of Charles Sturt University, who played a major role in interviews and analysis in the early part of the project.
