Message from the SNDS 2006 Chairs

Putting together a workshop requires the time and effort of many people. First, we would like to thank all the authors for their hard work in preparing submissions to the workshop. We deeply appreciate the effort and contributions of the program committee members who worked very hard to send back their comments and to put together an exciting program. Especially, we thank the effort of those program committee members who delivered their reviews in a timely manner despite having to face very difficult personal situations. In addition, we would like to thank the AINA 2006 organization committee for their support, guidance, and help for making the workshop. We would like to greatly thank Dr. Hui-Huang Hsu ([email protected]), Prof. Laurence T. Yang ([email protected]), and Dr. Mohammed Younas ([email protected]). They kindly helped us to organize this workshop as AINA 2006 Workshop Co-chairs. Finally, we would like to give our special thank to the local organizers at the Vienna University of Technology and to those people who have kindly helped us prepare and organize the SNDS06 workshop.
