The IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE) wishes to thank the 959 reviewers over the past year who have performed an essential role in maintaining the quality of this publication. T-ASE strives for the 90–90 standard, i.e., 90% of papers should be reviewed within 90 days of submission. The review process starts when the Editor-in-Chief assigns the paper to an Editor, who assigns it to an Associate Editor (AE). The AE then obtains confirmation from 3–5 reviewers, carefully studies the results, and makes a recommendation to the Editor, who then makes a decision that is reported back to the lead author. This review process is very demanding, especially under the time constraints. We have summarized the process under “Guidelines for T-ASE Editors and AEs for Handling Papers” on our website. I am pleased to report that submissions have steadily increased (over 1000 in 2017) and our Impact Factor is now 3.667, a 12.2% increase over last year. As we strive to increase the quality and impact of the journal, we rely on the hard work of our reviewers and members of the Editorial Board. To those dedicated volunteers, and to anyone who may have been inadvertently omitted from the list below, we extend our sincere appreciation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents departmental editors' statements for departmental scope of this journal. Individual engineers and scientists are the keys to technological innovation, and theft contributions depend on the ways in which theft organizations are organized and managed. For example, technical organizations are undergoing major transformations as they strive to become more competitive by bringing new products to market more rapidly and efficiently, by listening to their customers more closely, and by funding technical organizations more from business unit resources and less from corporate funds. The Models and Methodologies Department focuses on the application of theoretically-based models and rigorous solution methodologies to both conceptualize and develop solutions for the complex problems that engineers face.

This article profiles Robert B. Forest, who edited the periodical "Datamation," during its spectacular heyday in the 1960s. When the author first met Bob Forest not long after he became editor in April 1963, the circumstances were less than congenial. The author had just left the information technology firm IBM Corp., to become vice president in charge of systems planning at Security First National Bank in Los Angeles, California and was astonished to open a copy of the periodical and discover material from the upcoming book in a feature article attributed to Norman Ream, then assistant controller of Lockheed Corp. Forest and the author reconstructed the circumstances leading to the plagiarism of the author's book material. During his last year at IBM, the author was on the faculty of the IBM Systems Research Institute and taught a course in system development. Almost everyone in the computer field during the 1960s and 1970s--especially those in the vendor community--viewed the periodical "Datamation," as "must" reading.
