Acknowledgments
We would first like to thank Adam Honore, our research director at Aite Group. He was responsible for the technology content of this book and without Adam's contribution this book would have never have been completed. Additional thanks goes to the Aite Group team specifically the founding partners Gwenn Bezard, Frank Rizza, and Gerald Clemente. Special thanks to the Wiley team, Senior Editor Laura Walsh and Development Editor Judy Howarth. We appreciate their guidance and patience. Lastly we wanted to acknowledge the many contacts in the automated trading industry that we have spoken with over the last few years.~Without their candid information, the knowledge and data produced through this book and our research would have never been possible.
