This year, a total of 217 high-quality papers were submitted by researchers and practitioners from about 20 countries. All the submissions were rigorously reviewedbytheProgramCommitteemembers.Toensurefairnessandthequality of the papers, we put a number of measures in place. For example, each paper was assigned at least one reviewer from Australia, one reviewer from America, andonereviewerfromEurope.Basedontheoriginality,signi?cance,correctness, relevance, and clarity of presentation, 56 submissions were selected as regular papers and 12 were selected as short papers. The acceptation rate is 32%. Also, the authorsofaccepted paperswererequiredto submit a read-me?le alongwith the camera-readyversion of their paper explaining how the reviewers comments were taken into account in the ?nal version of their paper. The publication Co-chairs, Lucian Finta (Paris XIII, France) and Jemal H. Abawajy (Deakin University, Australia), painstakingly went through each read-me ?le and reviewers' comments to ensure that the comments were indeed incorporatedintothe?nalversionofthepapers.Onlythosepapersthatincluded reviewers' comments were ?nally accepted for inclusion in the proceedings. - doubtedly, Lucian and Jemal had to work long hours to meet the tight deadline, which is greatly appreciated.
