Thank you for participating in IPROMS 2006. Though the conference has ended, authors are still requested to upload their presentations if they have not done so.

The website will be kept open for a while in the current form for people to view and download papers (we expect more than 180,000 visits to this website between now and IPROMS 2007).

In addition, I have been informed by the organising committee that some papers may be left out of the hard-copy proceedings, because of limited space. Papers that have not satisfactorily addressed issues raised about them will be top on the list to be left out.
