  • IEEE Computer Society Press - EiC - Computer Science & Eng. Practice Board (95 - 97)
  My goal was to help the Computer Society Press to produce 15 to 20 very high-quality, studious, meritorious, scholarly and original topics (titles) every year. Potential topics are object-oriented software engineering, distributed computing, networks, multimedia, database applications, tools and environments, among many others. The majority of these titles (95%) represent the state-of-the-art subjects in practices and new technologies. These topics will give practitioners, as well as academicians, tremendously invaluable tools for becoming “instant experts" on very advanced and technical topics. As an EIC, I have a predetermined budget and work closely with authors, 36 international editorial practice board members, technical and marketing reviewers, and IEEE Computer Society staff on different activities related to the press. Since April 1995, I have acquired, edited, and managed over 100 book projects, such as:
  1. Distributed Objects: Methodologies for Customizing Operating Systems by Nayeem Islam
  2. Unified Objects: Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ by Babak Sadr
  3. Interconnection Networks: An Engineering Approach by Lionel Ni, J. Duato, and S. Yalamanchili
  4. Meeting Deadlines in Real-Time Systems by Daniel Roy and Loic Briand
  5. Controlling Software Development: Executive Briefing by L. Putnam and Ware Myers.
  6. Digital Design and Modeling with VHDL and Synthesis by K.C. Chang
  
  • Communications of the ACM - Associate Editor (95-04), Editorial Advisor (97-08), & Columnist ((95-2004)
  My goal was to help The Communications of ACM to be one of the finest practical journals in the world of computing. As an associate editor, I edit, review, recommend articles for acceptance and write materials in software engineering, object-oriented technology, distributed computing, design patterns, frameworks, and programming languages. I also solicit papers, and special section proposals, and promote quality and “First Class” technologies. As Associate Editor, I have brought a wealth of technologies to the CACM community. Since August 1994, I have edited 150+ articles, solicited over 50 articles, and promoted and accepted over 10 special sections on advanced technologies.
