Quality Matters, Especially in Sharing Knowledge
T
hese days, all it takes is a few
clicks of the mouse for a person to access massive
amounts of information and
data through Web pages,
blogs, or social-centric Web sites. This
easy-to-access and fast-to-find information is what makes the era we live in a
special one. But with all this advancements comes the question of quality.
Does the shared knowledge have high
quality? What sources can one rely on to
access quality knowledge? This is where
publications such as IEEE Signal
Processing Magazine (SPM) play an
important role. Signal processing as indicated by our new editor-in-chief, Dr. Li

Deng, is going through a transformation
from focusing on low-level signals such
as waveforms to dealing with semantic
and human-centric signals. This signal
processing transformation has to be
accompanied by a metamorphosis in how
the community exchanges high-quality
knowledge and how the community
members learn from each other.
An important section of SPM is the
columns and forums where readers are
exposed to various topics and information
through the articles in each issue of the
magazine. The previous editorial team
has done a tremendous job in taking the
columns and forums to a new level and
carefully laid out categories of topics. As
the new editorial team goes through a
transitional period and new team mem-

bers get on board, they will have the challenge of continuing excellence and
improving upon an already successful job.
This new team of column and forum associate editors is a combination of experienced past members, which is very
important for the continuity of this service to the readers, and new members,
who will bring new flavor and expertise to
the magazine. Overall, this elite team has
members coming from academia,
research, and industry. They are located
in various spots around the world, which
will add a cultural element to the shared
experiences and knowledge.
Our goal is to provide high-quality
articles and knowledge to all readers
