Birthday cakes were presented to these two great scientists, accompanied by a
Happy Birthday sung by guests attending the banquet.
Following a QSCP tradition, the venue of the next workshop was presented at
the end: Changsha, Hunan, China, in October 2017.
We are most grateful to the members of the Local Organizing Committee: Mark
Thachuk, Roman Krems, Delano Chong, Peter Chung and Jane Cua, as well as to
the members of the Wang team, especially Jianxiong Yang, Yuzhe Chen, Dongmei
Luo, Junqing Yang, Miguel Garcia-Chavez, Yiming Wang and Lin Bryan Zhang,
for their work and dedication which made the stay and work of participants both
pleasant and fruitful. Last but not least, we thank the members of the International
Scientific and Honorary Committees for their invaluable expertise and advice.
We hope the readers will find as much interest in consulting these proceedings as
the participants in attending the meeting.
