Inauguration Issue of the EJBE
SPECIAL CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS ISSUE: BETEQ 2001
We welcome you to the Electronic Journal of Boundary Elements. The primary goal of the EJBE is to provide fast, free, and worldwide access to high quality research on the Boundary Element Method (BEM) also known as the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM) and its applications. Exploiting the capabilities of the Internet will also allow publications to include color plots and videos, important to the display of the results on increasingly complex application calculations.
Much useful information (conference calendar, directory, bibliography, etc.) of interest to the BE community is already available through BENET. However, we would very much like to encourage ideas and suggestions from the community to make the EJBE a more useful resource. For example, one possibility under consideration is to establish a software repository for code that is of general interest (for example, a particular quadrature routine).
As a means of launching the journal, this first posting contains selected conference papers of the BETEQ meeting held at Rutgers University, July 16-18, 2001. In addition to including the primary full-length archival research and review articles, the EJBE would also serve as a fast and inexpensive way to disseminate appropriate conference and workshop proceedings.
The BENET provides information about the EJBE, including information about the submission of papers and subscriptions. We would like to encourage all to actively participate in the EJBE: subscribe, contribute ideas, and most importantly, review and submit papers.
