Introduction
This is the Fifth Conference in the Engineering Computational Technology 
series that commenced in 1998. Previous venues for the conference have 
included: Edinburgh, Prague, Leuven and Lisbon. The conference is concerned 
with the application of the latest computational technology to all aspects 
of engineering. Computational Technology encompasses both the latest 
hardware and software developments as well as algorithmic and theoretical 
developments. Contributors to this conference series have included 
engineers, mathematicians and scientists.

The conference is concerned with both theoretical, mathematical and 
scientific developments as well as applications of established technology to 
new domains.
