Abstract
In this introduction to our book, my aim is to provide a common platform for the chapters that follow. I will outline the main issues at stake, as I see them, in order to motivate the variety of themes taken up later on, and to show how they are connected. In contrast to subsequent chapters, I will not give comprehensive references to background literature here, but confine myself to bringing out a few seminal publications, which were inspirational to many authors of this book. I will start by commenting on the motto “Software Development and Reality Construction” which was coined as a suggestive phrase to indicate the range of questions relevant to us.
