1. About these Conference proceedings

In order to make the information and ideas presented at the conference promptly and widely available, participants in the conference were invited to submit written papers based on their presentations for inclusion in refereed conference proceedings to be published on the Web.

Each paper submitted for consideration was peer-reviewed according to the requirements of the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). That is, it was sent to two scholars who were asked to provide a scholarly judgement on the paper's suitability for publication. Owing to the fact that published conference papers should be a direct reflection of the presentation and subsequent discussion at the conference, papers were either accepted or rejected in the form in which they were submitted; there was no process of revision in response to comments by the referees. In cases of conflicting or ambiguous referees' reports, the paper was referred to a further referee and the editor made the final judgement on suitability for publication. A total of 78 papers were accepted for publication under these procedures.

2. Editorial board

The papers published here were read and recommended for inclusion in the Conference proceedings by a group of reviewers who kindly agreed to provide their expert advice on an anonymous basis.
