Editorial
This issue makes good the preview given in issue no. 6 with one exception: Our hope to report on the SWIIS Workshop, proved to be a lost hope due mainly to the weight of material; the three days of action having produced no fewer than 30 papers, running to 223 pages of typescript.
We predicted in issue no. 5 that we expected to see a lot more of AI and find ourselves with nearly a full page Progress Report only a few short months later.
Liking statistics as a source of meaningful information, we analysed “coverage” in column inches, for the first six issues: IFSR 45% – ASCS 15% – SGSR 13% – NS 11% – Various 16%
