Editorial

THE IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) has become the premier journal in our ??eld due to the vision and leadership provided by past editors- in-chief, King-Sun Fu, Theo Pavlidis, Steve Tanimoto and Anil Jain. Thus, it is with a great sense of honor I have accepted the responsibilities of becoming PAMI´s ??fth Editorin- Chief. My primary goal is to maintain its excellent reputation and quality while enhancing its value to the subscribers. In this editorial I would like to share some of my plans to achieve this goal.
