Vol. 1 No. 4 (2006): Reliability: Theory & Applications
Dear friends!
January 1st 2007 is the birthday of Boris Vladimirovich Gnedenko: he would be 95... You look at the No.4 of our journal, where you find many materials dedicated to this date. Our journal exists already a year, it is acting and developing! We have a registration number of the Library of Congress (USA). We are planning to issue the first “paper version” of the journal with collection of some papers. When a year ago it was decided to begin with an e-journal in the frame of the Gnedenko Forum, we did not expect that it would be developing so successfully. The first issues were compiled with invited papers, however, now we have a stable flow of papers even from non-members of the Forum. So, the journal – passing through a difficult time of stabilization – is developing, widening authors’ team and, as we can judge from e-messages, the papers found response among readers. The Gnedenko Forum itself is almost two years old, we have over 70 members of this “informal club” and 5 collective members. The Forum represents Europe, Asia, North America, Africa and Australia with New Zeland! How happy and proud was I when my friends send me thank-you-messages for an opportunity to find old friends through the Gnedenko Forum! Probably, there is a lack of activity and dynamic. We accept all your wishes concerning improvement of the form and content of the Forum that bears the name of the man who for many of us was teacher, friend and colleague. The Gnedenko Forum is the place where friends meet each others, where people contact with their colleagues with whom they work many years ago... And we have to continue our collaboration, we have to bring into our life those ideals that Boris Vladimirovich Gnedenko had been bearing. And who as not him unites us around his name again, as many years ago. Our site is always open for you and your colleagues. Involve new members in our Forum. Send us your papers. Send us information about new books, events, seminars and conferences. Be active and the Gnedenko Forum will return a hundredfold to you.
All the best to all of you!
