Thanks to Corin Nanton, of MEETinLEEDS, the conference, meeting and events facilities of the University of Leeds, for the conversion of the papers to html. The papers were peer-reviewed for the Conference but have not been through the journal's copy-editing and final proof-reading (except for changes that could be made globally) and, in general, may not conform to the journal's style requirements and standards. The first batch of papers was published with Volume 19, No. 4, December, 2014
