Abstract

is with feelings of honor and excitement that the author starts his appointment as the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the IEEE Transactions on Computers (TC). TC is in its 56th year of publication, by far the oldest peer-reviewed transaction of the IEEE Computer Society. Through the years, the position of EIC has been held by outstanding innovators in computer engineering, science, and education. At present, publication delay stands at an all time low of 7 months (on average, from time of submission to full acceptance after a second review). Selectivity through a rigorous peer-reviewed process is refl ected by an acceptance ratio of just above 20%; a dramatic increase in the so-called impact factor has occurred as a recognized measure of widespread acknowledgment of the technical excellence in the papers published by TC. In these times of widespread knowledge generation and fast-paced innovations, the author is confident that the legacy of scholarship that has made TC a flagship archival journal in the portfolio of the IEEE Computer Society will continue to enable it to lead the computer community by publishing fundamental, explorative, and significant papers, while adjusting to changes in technology and industrial/academic practice.
