Ivan Mistrik is an independent consultant for software-intensive systems engineering. He has 40 years experience in both software and systems engineering as an information systems developer, R&D leader, research analyst, and ICT management consultant. He is the author or co-author of more than 80 articles and papers in international journals, conferences, books and workshops. John Grundy has published widely in the area of software tools, including a range of novel contributions to collaboration supporting software tools. These include software process modelling and enactment tools, synchronous and asynchronous editing tools, component repositories, and various collaborative design tools. In particular he has focused on developing architectures and meta-tools to support rapid development and deployment of collaboration-supporting tools. Andre van der Hoek has authored and co-authored over 70 journal and conference publications, and is a co-author of the Configuration Management impact report, a recent retrospective view of research and industry advances in the essential collaborative technology of configuration management. His research focuses on understanding and advancing the role of design, coordination, and education in software. Jim Whitehead has created and led the Internet Engineering Task Force Working Group on Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), and participated in the creation of the DeltaV follow-on standard for versioning and configuration management.

"The book will be of tremendous value to practitioners grappling with managing multi-person software development activity, as well as researchers and students interested in the state-of-the-art and the many research directions in this area. It is not simply a collection of papers, but a thoughtful assembly of contributions, suitably structured and introduced by the editorial team." - From the Foreword by Bashar Nuseibeh, The Open University, UK
