Editorial: on the ACM publications

ABSTRACT

It is proper that a professional organization periodically review its publication policy to ensure that it is fully meeting its responsibilities to its members To this purpose the President of ACM has asked the Editorial Board to formulate a five-year policy for recommendation to the Council and an ad hoc commitee of the Editorial Board is examining the question. Professor Gotlieb, through his distinguished editorial service over the past years as Editor-as-Chief of the Journal and also of Communications, has helped shape the development of ACM publications, and we are pleased to present his views in this invited editorial —M. Stuart Lynn, Editor-in-Chief
