Table of Contents

• Preface
  Summary: Each paper submitted to the workshop underwent a rigorous double-blind review by at least two reviewers. Each paper was evaluated with respect to four criteria: 1) quality of content, 2) significance for theory and practice, 3) originality and level of innovativeness, 4) fitting to the workshop theme. The review results of each paper were subsequently discussed by the workshop chairs resulting in a decision of acceptance or rejection. There were 35 papers submitted for peer-review to this workshop. Out of these, 22 papers were accepted for this volume.
