Moray Rumney has done an outstanding job of defining the book’s focus and the content. He spent many hours writing, working with other authors, and editing to give the book’s technical content its final shape.

Our special thanks go to Mary Jane Pahls for without her expertise and dedication to the first and second editions, they would never have happened.

Many experts provided valuable input and comments on the content. In addition to the chapter authors listed later, we would like to recognize Russell Barbour, Mike Hurst, Yuqin Shen, Dan Aubertin, Bob Cutler, Phil Lorch, Jing Ya, Hongwei Kong, Dan Jaeger, and Juergen Placht for their contributions.
