Encyclopedia of Dynamical
Systems
|
All SIAM members are invited to participate in the
election of authors for the Encyclopedia of Dynamical Systems, which
is hosted by scholarpedia.org - the free peer-reviewed
encyclopedia.
Scholarpedia is a synthesis of Encyclopedia
Britannica and Wikipedia. It feels and looks like Wikipedia, with the
exception that
- Each article is written by an expert.
- Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and
reliable information.
- Each article has a curator - typically its author -- who is
responsible for its content. Any modification of the article needs to
be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved
version.
Currently, Scholarpedia hosts Encyclopedia of
Computational Neuroscience, Encyclopedia of Dynamical Systems, and
Encyclopedia of Computational Intelligence. All will be published in a
printed form.
A unique feature of Scholarpedia is that its
authors are either invited by the editor-in-chief or elected by the
public - you. Public election of authors ensures fairness in assigning
articles to the corresponding experts in each field. You are invited
to register as a 'Scholar' using the invitation key 'SIAG'. This would
allow you to vote for authors, nominate people for articles, and even
initiate election for new articles. Self-nominations are welcomed.
Among confirmed participants are Ermentrout,
Fenichel, FitzHugh, Ginzburg, Haken, Hirsch, Kopell, Kuramoto, Lorenz,
Mandelbrot, Ott, Palis, Rossler, Sharkovsky, Shilnikov, Shub, Smale,
and dozens of others.
