I would like to thank Shreerang Deshpande for offering me the opportunity to author this book and for helping me throughout the writing, and Leena Purkait for keeping track of its progress and coordination, Mayur Hule, Lubna Shaikh, and Worrell Lewis for editing the book drafts! I would like to express my gratitude to other Packt Publishing staff who helped with the book! My grateful thanks are also extended to Roger, Frank and Sylvain, who offered great suggestions during the review.
I also would like to thank Assoc. Prof. Wei Tsang Ooi in National University of Singapore, the supervisor of my master project. A lot of stuff in this book is based on the things I learnt during the project.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents Zhulan Shen and Yi Liu, and Ms. Yang Xiaoqing for the support and understanding during the writing of the book.
