This volume contains contributions written by authors who have all worked in some capacity with Judith Bishop during her distinguished career. When Judith reached a certain milestone in her age (and we will leave the reader to figure out which one), we had the idea of putting together this book in recognition of her career and her accomplishments. We contacted various researchers and industry professionals who have worked with Judith and asked them if they would be willing to contribute material for this book. Their responses were overwhelmingly positive. Please note that we made a deliberate decision not to invite any colleagues from her current employer, Microsoft Research,.
