Prof. Grigolini is a member of the Center for Nonlinear Science at the
University of Texas where he works on quantum mechanics, statistical physics,
complex networks and biological systems, in particular the complexity in
neurophysiological processes.

In addition to the two new co-Editors-in-Chief, Chaos, Solitons &
Fractals has refined its Aims & Scope, which now center on the
interdisciplinary theme of complexity. The journal has also undergone some
changes in the editorial structure. Regular articles, letters and reviews, as
well as "Frontiers" papers, up-to-date overviews of a particular field, will
be the main article types throughout the journal. The journal also has a new
look, including the cover and will be published in two column formatting.
Submissions will be accepted shortly at ees.elsevier.com/chaos/.

"It is our ambition to develop Chaos, Solitons & Fractals into a
leading journal in the exciting field of complexity", commented Prof.
Grigolini.

Prof. Courbage added, "One of the main hallmarks of the journal
will be the interdisciplinarity of complex systems. We are pleased to be
joined by some excellent editorial board members, who will be instrumental in
attracting leading authors in the field."
