A message from the new Editor-in-Chief

I feel honoured and privileged to be selected as the new Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the IEEE Consumer Technology Society World Newsletter (CTSocWN). I am most grateful to the Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) Steering Committee for having faith in me and giving me this opportunity to shape the continued success of this publication. Much of this success has been achieved due to the leadership of the past EiC, Stuart Lipoff, who has been leading the publication for over 11 years. In my induction so far, I am indebted to Stuart Lipoff, Stefan G Mozar, Wahab Almuhtadi, and Wen-Chung Kao, all of whom have been exceptionally generous with their time to help me settle and provide their wisdom and guidance.

The CTSocWN is a vehicle to highlight and promote activities and initiatives of IEEE CTSoc IEEE Technical Communities to society members. Particularly, the magazine features the following items:

Announcements of upcoming conferences and events,
Current table of contents of the society’s flagship Magazine and Transactions,
Call for special issue papers from the society’s Transaction and Magazine,
Discussion of points of view on developing issues, technologies, and new product introductions, and,
Multiple hyperlinks to general and reference information about the society.

To achieve the aforementioned tasks, I formed a new team of editorial members, who are among successful industry practitioners, to assist me in the preparation of the magazine’s content for serving the CTSoc members. We look forward to expanding our magazine and preparing interesting content for our members, and for this, we need strong support from the society members, volunteers, editors, publication board members, and the steering committee of the CTSoc. Thank you for your great support in advance.
