Abstract :
It is my privilege, as the incoming editor in chief, to extend a sincere thanks to Francis Sullivan for the excellent job he has done over the past four years at CiSE´s helm. As part of my transitional education, Francis shared his wisdom concerning the magazine´s strengths and needs. I then went back into CiSE history and met with George Cybenko, the magazine´s first editor in chief, to drill even deeper into the experience lode.
