"The present book is the outcome of a seminar organized by the editors, sponsored by the Gesellschaft f├╝r Informatik e.V. (GI) and held in Dagstuhl, 13-16 April 2004. GI-Dagstuhl-Seminars are organized on current topics in computer science that are not yet well covered in textbooks ... The participants of this seminar were assigned subtopics on which they did half a year of research prior to the meeting. After a week of presentations and discussion at Schloss Dagstuhl, slightly more than another half-year was spent on writing the chapters."--Pref.
