Editorial

The authors state that 2004 has seen a major change to the operation of IEE journals. The entire process of submitting, reviewing, and accepting papers for publication is now carried out online, through a software package called Manuscript Central. The new scheme was introduced in April 2004. The authors acknowledge the roles of various groups in the production of each issue of the IEE journals. They also offer their congratulations to Dr M. Kirscht (his paper entitled ´Detection and imaging of arbitrarily moving targets with single-channel SAR´ has been awarded the 2004 Clarke-Griffiths Memorial Premium).
