After having served for one year as Editor-in-Chief of EURASIP JASP, I believe it is appropriate to look back and evaluate the status of our journal, list strengths and weaknesses, and prepare plans for the future. My predecessor Prof. K. J. Ray Liu (University of Maryland, College Park, USA) left the journal in perfect health after having initiated its spectacular rise, as witnessed, for example, by the number of submitted and published papers. I have a vivid recollection of my dress rehearsal during the 2002 Christmas break as well as my first few months as Editor-in-Chief, early 2003, which were particularly hectic and chaotic. Especially at that time, I realized it was going to be difficult to match the high standard that Ray set. Some of the initial energy was invested into transferring the web-based manuscript tracking system (MTS) from the University of Maryland to Hindawi Publishing Corporation, as well as into further tuning the system and expanding its functionality. The system has now a few thousands of registered users, and I believe it has proven to be both reliable and easy to use. However, we are still open to suggestions and are willing to invest more effort into further improving and expanding our system. EURASIP JASP owes much of its success to its outstanding Editorial Board. The Editorial Board is responsible for organizing regular paper reviews and—even more importantly—for the definition and selection of suitable topics for the special issues. In 2003, we started bringing in ten new Editorial Board Members each half year, based on nominations from the Editorial Board. On July 1st, our new Editorial Board Members were: Prof. Jacob Benesty (Universite du Quebec, Montreal, Canada); Prof. Helmut Boelcskei (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland); Prof. Chong-Yung Chi (National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan); Prof. Fulvio Gini (University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy); Dr. Alexei Gorokhov (Philips Research, Eindhoven, The Netherlands); Prof. Peter Handel (Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden); Prof. John Homer (The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia); Prof. Mark Kahrs (University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, USA); Prof. Bernie
Mulgrew (University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK); Prof. Douglas Williams (Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA). I would now also like to take the opportunity to welcome our new Editorial Board Members (term starting January 1st): Dr. Satya Dharanipragada (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA); Prof. Douglas O’Shaughnessy (University of Quebec, Montreal, Canada); Prof Sharon Gannot (Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel); Prof. Moon Gi Kang (Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea); Prof. Thomas Kaiser (Gerhard Mercator University, Duisburg, Germany); Prof. Mark Liao (Academia Sinica, Taiwan); Prof. Montse Pardas (Polytec
