From the Editorial

People have tackled our 'Fifty years of ...' theme in different ways.
Some have taken a fairly literal approach and have identified key papers decade
by decade. Others have written tutorials which present a very useful
introduction to their subject. Others have adopted a more discursive approach,
taking the opportunity to reflect more generally on developments, or even missed opportunities, in a particular technique or application area.
