Oktober 2004PrefaceNowadays science is becoming a working field in which knowledge of several disci plines is required from the researchers. The world cannot be divided into domainswithin which pure specialists could reach increasingly higher results. Reality showsthat forgetting one aspect of a related field may significantly influence the entire out come. Even a team of several specialists may not be able to cover an entire field,namely when exchanging knowledge between them does not work. Hence, more andmore people with interdisciplinary knowledge are required. Such people can con tribute to communication and network construction. If in a group of researchers theco operation does not only consist of distributing tasks but of real openness and truemutual interest, it is much more likely that communication is a fruitful part of the com mon work, and that all facets of a given problem are discovered and considered withinthe development process.
