Message from the SOCNE 2006 Chairs

Setting up a workshop requires a lot of time and efforts that are spread on many shoulders. We would like to thank all authors and co-authors for their valuable contributions that described significant results in their field of research. All submissions have been reviewed by the SOCNE Program Committee that did a tremendous job in preparing qualified expertise in a limited time frame. Each submitted paper was reviewed by three independent experts and finally we were pleased to accept 13 papers for publication. We furthermore like to thank our Web Chair Aleksander Malinowski for setting up the submission system and providing administrative help to us and the reviewers.
