Complexity Digest 2009.03
2009/01/30
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my friend and
founding editor, Dr Gottfried Mayer on January 25, 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan. He
had been battling numerous cancers with his intellect, guidance from
complexity science and his strength. But the fight was concluded attended at
his bedside with his wife, Yeou-Teh, and daughter, Stephanie.
Complexity Digest is Gottfried's creation. It was his vision that work was
being done all over the world which needed to be brought into the community's
network to solve problems. His own scientific sweep was a demonstration of
the multi-disciplinary, rapid response features that became the hallmark of
each weekly issue reaching over 10k members dedicated to furthering
complexity. He trained a small international team of editors to write
concise, summaries of important articles. And he partnered with me on what
more we could do whether exploring new media like video, partnering with
other institutions or finding ways to preserve the services of Complexity
Digest beyond the lives of any of us.
And Gottfried triumphed is setting the course for ComDig's next phase. The
editor's burdens are being assumed by Carlos Gershenson who has been writing
for the publication since 2001. The publisher is the Universidad Nacional
Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), the leading university in Latin America, and its
new Center of Complexity Sciences. This exciting group will impact complexity
both through its own research and in acting as a source of inspiration for
others in its publication efforts. Publication will be on a bi-weekly basis
and you can expect to find Complexity Digest continue to be useful in your
work....the spirit of Gottfried will be present to guide us by continuing to
be on the masthead as founding editor.

"Bureaucrats!" Mallory scoffed cheerily. "They might known this would happen,
if they'd properly studied Catastrophist theory. It is a concatenation of
synergistic interactions; the whole system is on the PERIOD-DOUBLING ROUTE TO
CHAOS!"
