Managing Editor’s Column

This issue is again a typical j.ucs issue both as far as topics and geography are concerned, but it also shows a bit the direction j.ucs is moving: of the 13 authors, 6 are from europe, 4 from china and 2 from north america. the distribution makes me ask our colleagues in canada and usa to please also publish in j.ucs, and maybe even more important, to propose well-known computer scientist from usa and canada for our editorial board. i’m sure you can find young, but already established researchers amongst your colleagues who might be interested and willing to give j.ucs some of their time once in a while and become a part of its success.
