such questions for centuries (unrestricted by the capabilities of
any hard ware). The principles governing the interaction of several
processes, for example, are abstract an similar to principles
governing the cooperation of two large organisation. A detailed
rule based effective but rigid bureaucracy is very much similar to
a complex computer program handling and manipulating data. My guess
is that the principles underlying one are very much the same as
those underlying the other. I believe the day is not far away in
the future when the computer scientist will wake up one morning
with the realisation that he is actually a kind of formal
philosopher! The projected number of volumes for this Handbook is
about 18. The subject has evolved and its areas have become
interrelated to such an extent that it no longer makes sense to
dedicate volumes to topics. However, the volumes do follow some
natural groupings of chapters. I would like to thank our authors
are readers for their contributions and their commitment in making
this Handbook a success. Thanks also to our publication
administrator Mrs J. Spurr for her usual dedication and excellence
and to Kluwer Academic Publishers for their continuing support for
the Handbook.
