Call for Nominations / Applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine

The IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine (CIM) publishes peer-reviewed articles that present emerging novel discoveries, important insights, or tutorial surveys in all areas of computational intelligence design and applications, in keeping with the Field of Interest of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS). Additionally, CIM serves as a media of communications between the governing body and its membership of IEEE CIS. Authors are encouraged to submit papers on applications oriented developments, successful industrial implementations, design tools, technology reviews, computational intelligence education, and applied research. Details about the current state of this publication can be found at: https://cis.ieee.org/publications/ci-magazine.

The inaugural issue of CIM was published in February 2006 as the official magazine of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS).  Gary G. Yen worked hard for CIM as the founding Editor-in-Chief from 2006 to 2009 until Kay Chen Tan assumed the reins in 2010. Hisao Ishibuchi took over these duties in 2014, and his term is completing in 2019. Through their dedicated effort, and with generous support from the members of CIS, the magazine has become one of the most successful and influential periodical publications in the field of computational intelligence.  Its impact, along with its Impact Factor, has grown steadily over the years.  Thanks to the hard work of the EiCs, this technical and societal material is packaged in a classy format, a proud addition to the CIS publication portfolio.

Because Hisao’s term is ending, a new Editor-in-Chief must be appointed to assume leadership in 2020. The IEEE CIS Executive Committee has formed an Adhoc Search Committee to seek suitable candidates to serve as the next EiC of CIM. The Search Committee solicits nominations/applications for this position. Nominees/applicants should be dedicated volunteers with outstanding research profiles and extensive editorial experience. The nomination/application package should include complete CV along with a separate description (max 300 words/topic) on each of the following items:

• Vision Statement
• Understanding of the differences between EiC duties of a magazine and journal
• Challenges, if any, faced by the publication, and a plan to deal with them
• Editorial Experience
• Summary of publishing experience in IEEE magazines/journals
• IEEE Volunteer Experience
• Institutional Support
• Current service and administrative commitments
• Networking with the Community
• Statement of why the candidate considers himself/herself fit for this position? 

Address any questions, and send the nomination/application package as a single PDF file through email to kellerj@missouri.edu by April 26, 2019.

Call for Nominations / Applications for the position of the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems

IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development (TAMD) will be renamed as IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems (TCDS) with a view to broadening its scope yet keeping main thrust of TAMD in its core. The official scope of TCSD is:

This journal focuses on advances in the study of development and cognition in natural (humans, animals) and artificial (robots, agents) systems. It welcomes  contributions from multiple related  disciplines including cognitive systems, computational intelligence, cognitive robotics, developmental and epigenetic robotics, autonomous and evolutionary robotics, social structures, multi-agent and artificial life systems, computational neuroscience,  and  developmental psychology. Articles on theoretical, computational, application-oriented, and experimental studies as well as reviews in these areas are considered.
Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems is financially sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, Robotics and Automation Society, and the Consumer Electronics Society, and it is technically co-sponsored by the Computer Society. With this new focused title and revised scope, TCDS is going to emerge as a premier publication covering various aspects of Cognitive Systems, Robotics, and Developmental Systems.

TCDS is financially co-sponsored by the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS), Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), and Consumer Electronics Society (CES), and technically co-sponsored by the Computer Society. Following the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the co-sponsors, the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of TCDS will be appointed for a period of two years beginning January 1, 2016. Following the guidelines in the MOU, IEEE CIS Executive Committee has formed an Adhoc Search Committee for recommending to the CIS President a list of potential candidates to serve as EIC of TCDS. 

The Search Committee is seeking nominations /applications for this. The nominees/applicants should be dedicated volunteers with outstanding research profiles and extensive editorial experience. The nomination/application package should include complete CV along with separate description on each of the following items: Vision Statement; Editorial Experience; IEEE-CIS/RAS/CES Publication Experience; IEEE CIS/RAS/CES Volunteer Experience; Leadership Skills; Institutional Support; Networking with Community; Challenges ahead with the publication, if any, and how to deal with them; and Why the candidate considers himself/herself fit for this position.

The nomination/application package should be emailed as a single PDF at nrpal59@gmail.com by October 30, 2015.
