[agents] Call for Nominations: EiC of ACM TAAS

[Franco Zambonelli]

Call for Nominations: Editor-In-Chief 

ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems

The term of the current Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) is coming to an end, and the ACM Publications Board has set up a nominating committee to assist the Board in selecting the next EiC.

Nominations, including self-nominations, are invited for a three-year term as TAAS EiC, beginning on October 1, 2020. The EiC appointment may be renewed at most one time. This is an entirely voluntary position, but ACM will provide appropriate administrative support.

The EiC is responsible for maintaining the highest editorial quality, for setting technical direction of the papers published in TAAS, and for maintaining a reasonable pipeline of articles for publication. He/she has final say on acceptance of papers, size of the Editorial Board, and appointment of Associate Editors. The EiC is expected to adhere to the commitments expressed in the policy on Roles and Responsibilities in ACM Publishing. For more information about the role of the EiC, see Evaluation Criteria for ACM Editors-in-Chief.

Nominations should include a vita along with a brief statement of why the nominee should be considered. Self-nominations are encouraged, and should include a statement of the candidate's vision for the future development of TAAS. The deadline for submitting nominations is 24 August 2020, although nominations will continue to be accepted until the position is filled.

Please send all nominations to the nominating committee chair, Nenad Medvidović (neno at usc.edu).

	• Nelly Bencomo 	(Aston University, UK)
