Preface
In the autumn of 1985 ESMI (European Symposium on Mathematics in Industry), the predecessor of ECMI, took place in Amsterdam. During that meeting the ideas were born that eventually lead to the foundation of ECMI as we know it now. Many successful meetings followed this ‘ECMI-1985’ and during this period ECMI became a brand name for Industrial Mathematics. The adulthood of ECMI is apparent from the many things it has achieved since then, as a truly European institution devoted to promote Industrial Mathematics in education and research. It took nearly 20 years to have another ECMI meeting, the 13-th, held in the Netherlands again, now in Eindhoven, June 2004. During the preparations for this meeting we were joined by the European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics (ENBIS), an organisation with objectives similar to those of ECMI. It enlarged the scope of the meeting and opened up a number of opportunities for further co-operation. For one thing, ECMI-people have less tradition in employing theory and methods fro
