I would like to begin by thanking the previous Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of LES, Prof. S. Parameswaran, for his numerous contributions to the journal during his tenure. He and deputy EIC Prof. T. Mitra demonstrated exemplary leadership, built a strong editorial board, and ensured wide visibility of the journal. The IEEE LES has now been established as a major publication forum for the timely dissemination of top-quality research in the embedded systems area. Such a forum is uniquely positioned to address the needs of various communities: academics who require a quick turnaround time for early dissemination of research, and industry researchers, engineers, and managers who need to stay up to date with innovations in the field summarized into a short capsule.
