Abstract
This chapter provides a historical account of the development of Working Group 9.4 from its inception in 1988 to the present day. The intellectual and practical issues that have drawn our attention, as well as the debates and disputes that we have had for over thirty years, are elicited and discussed. More attention is paid to the current opportunities and challenges that enthuse us, and to the impacts that we hope to exert through our work. The chapter concludes with an eye to the future and how the working group may yet develop. The sixteen co-authors of the chapter reflect on how the field of development has morphed over time and on the directions that are opening up. © 2024, IFIP International Federation for Information processing.
