IWAVE has been a team effort: the original design of the core
framework is due to Igor Terentyev, and Tanya Vdovina, Dong Sun, Marco
Enriquez, Xin Wang, Yin Huang, Mario Bencomo, and Muhong Zhou have each made major contributions.
Development of IWAVE was supported by the SEG Advanced Modeling (SEAM)
project, by the National Science Foundation under awards 0620821 and
0714193, and by the sponsors of The Rice Inversion Project. The IWAVE
project owes a great deal to several open source seismic software
packages (Seismic Un*x, SEPlib, Madagascar), debts which we gratefully
acknowledge. The author wishes to record his special gratitude to
Sergey Fomel, the architect of Madagascar, for his inspiring ideas and
his generous and crucial help in the integration of IWAVE into Madagascar.
