IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY
APPLICANTS SOUGHT FOR
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF(1999-2000)
IEEE Software Magazine
The IEEE Computer Society is seeking applicants for the position
of Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of IEEE Software for the publication years 1999 and
2000. The EIC is a two-year appointment by the President of the Computer
Society.
Publications are one of the most tangible services provided to
its members by the Computer Society. Therefore, EICs play a critical role to the
success of the Computer Society.
SCOPE OF IEEE SOFTWARE
IEEE
Software stimulates and tracks advances in software technology and transfers
that technology to the software professionals who define the core technologies
on which so much commercial software is based. IEEE Software does this with its
unique combination of research articles, case studies, and regular department
coverage of critical enabling disciplines like quality assurance, human factors,
management, and government and social policy, as well as with reviews of
products and books that software practitioners use and read. The readers of IEEE
Software are the industry's leaders--the software practitioners responsible for
doing, managing, or teaching the development and implementation of software, as
well as engineers and managers of systems that include software. (Computer
Society Policies & Procedures Manual; section 10.5.5)
QUALIFICATIONS
AND REQUIREMENTS OF CANDIDATES
Key qualities of the EIC are the
possession of a good understanding of industry, academic, and government needs,
plus the managerial skills to manage the editorial cycle in a timely fashion.
Computer Society is consolidating all manuscripts tracking process to its Los
Alamitos publications office. Therefore in the future new EICs will be able to
concentrate energy only on content development and manuscripts solicitation. The
EIC must be able to attract respected experts to his/ her editorial board.
Major responsibilities of future EIC of IEEE Software include:
a) Active solicitation of high quality manuscripts from potential
authors, and assistance of these authors (with the help of the IEEE-CS staff) in
getting their manuscripts published;
b) Identification and appointment
of editorial board members with the concurrence of the Publications Board;
c) Selection of competent reviewers, in cooperation with the IEEE-CS
publications staff and the Manuscripts Management System (MMS), to reach
conclusions and make decisions on manuscripts in a timely fashion.
d)
Direct editorial board members to seek special issue proposals and manuscripts
in specific areas;
e) Interact with an industrial advisory board to
strengthen the links between IEEE Software and the practitioner's world.
f) Provision of a clear board focus through promotion of personal vision
and guidance where appropriate;
g) Resolution of conflicts or problems
as necessary.
Applicants should have recognized expertise in the
computer science and software engineering community, possess editorial
experience, and be able to lead an active editorial board and an existing
industrial advisory board to work effectively with technical and publishing
professionals. Applicants must have clear employer support for this activity.
SEARCH PROCEDURE
Prospective candidates are requested to provide
a complete CV, a vision statement describing the candidate's vision of the
future of IEEE Software, and a letter of support from the candidate's employer
by February 2, 1998.
Interested applicants are encouraged to submit
vision statements and CVs electronically. Letters of support from individual
organizations should be mailed via regular mail to Carl Chang.
