Editorial

In view of the fact that Professor Colgate has been doing a wonderful job, the Transactions Management Committee sought his intention for serving the second term. We were very glad to know that he was very much interested in that. Following the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) Selection Guidelines, feedback on Professor Colgate´s reappointment was solicited from all participating societies starting in December 2009. With excellent comments received from participating societies and the Management Committee´s own evaluation, Professor Colgate was unanimously approved by the Management Committee at its 24 March 2010 meeting held at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA for the second three-year term as the EIC of IEEE Transactions on Haptics starting 1 January 2011. Please join us in congratulating him on his excellent achievements thus far and on his reappointment as the EIC. Trust that with his vision, dedication, and leadership plus the support of the Editorial Board, all of the authors and reviewers, and the IEEE Computer Society staff, we will see the growing impact, status, and contributions of the transactions to the field of haptics. The IEEE Transactions on Haptics is cosponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, the Computer Society, and the Consumer Electronics Society.
