Farewell state of the journal

The current Editor-in-Chief announces that Professor David Forsyth will serve as the next Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. David is well known within the computer vision community for the depth and breadth of his research contributions and interests. He has also served in a large number of leadership roles, including organizing the main vision conferences several times, coauthoring a widely used textbook, and running important committees. He has been an associate editor of TPAMI, and has been deeply involved in various discussions about the relationship between the computer vision community and the IEEE Computer Society. I have great confidence that David will uphold the high standards of the journal, and under his leadership it will continue to serve the community admirably. A breif professional biography of Prof. Forsyth is provided.
