Message from the PDES-2005 Chairs

Many people have kindly helped us prepare and organize the PDES workshop. First of all, we would like to thank the ICPADS-2005 organization committee for their support, guidance, and help for making the workshop. We would like to greatly thank Prof. Jianhua Ma, Hosei University, and Prof. Laurence T. Yang, St. Francis Xavier University. They kindly helped us to organize this workshop as ICPADS-2005 Workshop Co-chairs. We would like to express our special thank to the Chairman of IFIP TC10, Prof. Dr. Franz J. Rammig for his generous and kind support for this workshop. In addition, we would like to give our special thanks to the local organizers at Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT). Finally, we also would like to take opportunity to thank all the members of the organization committee and program committee as well as all of the authors who submitted papers and reviewers who reviewed papers.
