Acknowledgments
The production of this volume has been a long and arduous undertaking and we have many people to thank for their help along the way. The book is based on a workshop that took place in the fall of 2003 at the Allerton Conference Center, a country retreat maintained and operated by the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. It provided a pastoral setting for our workshop and we are grateful for the warm hospitality we were shown there. To produce an enduing record of our discussions, the sessions at Allerton were videotaped. The recordings were done by Rochelle Robertson, Denise Kaye and Ferhan Dereboy. Alan Zemel helped with transforming their footage into a DVD set that was subsequently distributed to the workshop participants. Since the workshop, we have worked slowly and methodically toward the goal of developing our discussions at Allerton into the book that you now hold. Its structure, consisting of linked target chapters, commentaries, responses and synthesis chapters, created a network of dependencies that worked against completing the project in any simple or straight-forward way. Jean Afflerbach maintained the authors’ webpage as the manuscripts went through multiple revisions. Lesley Barfield helped out on indexing. We have worked with a variety of acquisition editors over the course of the project and we thank them all for their patience and support. We especially thank Saranya devi Moorthy of Integra Software Services for her diligent work in fashioning a beautifully integrated volume from the many scattered pieces that comprised this project. Support for the All
