IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine

Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Welcome to Your New Publication!
by Marco Liserre

I am very glad to introduce you to this new IEEE publication: IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine. Its identity is in the scope of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) that it represents: theory and applications of electronics, controls, communications, instrumentation, and computational intelligence to industrial and manufacturing systems and processes.
The Editorial Board of this new magazine is comprised of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics editors and past editors, whose experience will guide me, as well as by a group of emerging researchers willing to make this new publication a flagship publication for the IES. In fact, this magazine is a service for IES members, who receive it as part of their Society subscription, and a contribution, through the IEEE online library, to the industrial electronics scientific community.
To fulfill these ambitious goals, it is indispensable to identify not only the scope of this magazine but also the way its content is offered to the reader. While IEEE transactions are indispensable for a deep study on a certain topic of interest, this magazine should offer tutorial surveys for nonspecialists and effective glances at new ideas in industrial electronics and to the international scenario where ideas originate.
Overview articles are the main feature of this publication. Key insights of theoretical advancements based on a well-defined background are offered in the column "Past & Present." Inventions and patents to enhance industry, environment, and bottom line are the main subject of "From Mind to Market." "My View" closes the magazine with a glance at the emerging trends in industrial electronics international community. All of these articles are peer reviewed and respect the IEEE standard. The features of the magazine are reviewed by three to five international reviewers, and the articles published in the columns also pass a short peer-review process. This is not only a way to select the best contributions but also to make the articles accessible to a vast audience.
The Editorial Board will guarantee the quality and accessibility of the technical content while preserving the informative appeal of the Magazine with Society, Chapter, educational, and products news. Of course ideas, contributions, and all the possible collaboration are welcome.
