We have managed to get a great international set of authors together, each discussing on a particular aspect of the problem based on their own expertise and research background. All chapters start with a detailed theoretical description that serves the dual purposeofintroducingthetechnique andprovidingsufficientdetails(inthetextor by means of references to the literature) for all researchers to start using it them- selves.Subsequentlyoneormoreexamplesillustratehowthetechniquecanbeused in a practical setting. Chapters are ordered according to the order in which the technique they describe appears in the development and implementation of new models.Readingthebookfromstarttofinishwillthereforeprovidenewresearchers with a quite extensive tool set to get started for themselves. More experienced researchers will find for specific techniques the latest developments and a discus- sion offuture developments. Thisbookistheendproductofalengthyprocesswhichhassufferedfromsome unforeseen delays. Yet the vision and drive always remained present amongst the editors and authors. We are very happy with the end result and hope that readers will enjoy the book as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together.
