This glossary has been written and compiled as a service to the AOIS
community. It lists many fundamental terms and concepts that are relevant
to AOIS. Since in some cases, I could not avoid to express my personal
views on certain matters, readers are invited to send me comments and criticisms.
Also, proposals for additional entries are welcome. Though I cannot promise
to include all suggestions made, I will carefully study each of them, and
take it into consideration in one way or another.
