Unity - in Diversity

 

International IFNA-ANS scientific Journal "Problems of nonlinear Analysis in Engineering Systems" is interdisciplinary scientific periodic Edition, presenting the works on nonlinear problems in all areas of fundamental and applied Sciences, including both natural and humanities disciplines: mathematics, mechanics, physics, chemistry; engineering, biological, medical, social, political sciences; ecology, cosmology; economics and financial mathematics; nanoscience and nanotechnology; stability and sustainable development, problems of risk and information protection, problems ofљ operational research,...

In this issue of Journal "Problems of nonlinear Analysis in Engineering Systems" (No.1(35), Vol.17, 2011) it is published articles, analytical surveys, scientific-information papers that are reflecting the views of specialists and highlighting, some urgent problems of present and future of interdisciplinary љcharacter. The issue has two special sections.

The first scientific section is connected with results of researches represented by Professor Ch.P.Tsokos, which heads the Scientific School on modelling of complex interdisciplinary systems (University of South Florida, USA), and he is an Invited Editor of the section. Research results are described in a series of papers united by a motto of the International Federation of Nonlinear Analysts: "Unity - in Diversity". Professor Chris P.Tsokos, IFNA President, carries out the general scientific supervision of the Project, which he called "Modelling of environmental engineering and health problems".

Here it is published brief introduction review of Prof. Ch.P.Tsokos, that is reflecting scientific areas of the Project, and some of the papers of the series. Another papers prepare for the publication in subsequent issues.

The second special section is prepared on the results of scientific studies and interdisciplinary areas, generated by problems of fundamental science and engineering applications in domain of nano- biotechnology and supercomputers. Survey article, containing three subsections (Introducing Part, Part I, Part II) is published here. It is prepared by Invited Editor Prof. S.Santoli, our Partner on the scientific Edition.

Besides, the issue contains also the papers and reviews on interdisciplinary subjects, prepared on researches results presented at International scientific conferences, workshops, symposiums (St. Petersburg, Lisbon, Kazan, Atlanta). Investigated subjects are multidisciplinary systems, requiring Knowledge from different scientific areas. Only on a joint of various disciplines there is an origin of new hypotheses, providing Deep knowledge of World in whole, with understanding of dynamics and processes around.

The presented here articles will undoubtedly promote uniting of efforts of the specialists in theory and applications, contribute to synthesis of methods for solving the problems in interdisciplinary spheres of Science and Education.
