It is also a training ground for a new generation of researchers. To highlight the work of these students, a doctoral 2005.

As shoulder, those on the programme committee who did the work.

Finally, many thanks to the reviewers, and the students themselves. Dave Lambert Co-chair 2005 Program CommitteeChair:
