Sampling Theory in Signal and Image Processing- An International Journal

Preface

We have witnessed the founding, growth, and success of our journal Sampling Theory in Signal and Image Processing in this decade. We have been publishing fundamental contributions to the sampling theory and related areas, as well as interesting applications. The editors have been working hard to maintain the high standard of the journal.

I am grateful to my good friend Abdul Jerri for passing on to me the task of Executive Editor on a gold plate. The journal STSIP is the brain child of Professor Jerri. Several people helped in the process of establishing the journal, but the idea, the execution, and the incurred expenses were his. There were skeptics (even within the sampling theory community) who felt that the topic of sampling theory is too narrow or specialized to sport its own journal. With his vision, tireless effort, and dedication he succeeded in finding a niche for STSIP within the competitive journal publication structure.

A novel aspect of STSIP is the team structure of Editors-in-Chiefs, Assistant Executive Editors, Secretary, and Editors. Again this was Abdul's idea. The team structure of distributed responsibilities has helped to run the journal in a smooth and highly professional manner. I plan on maintaining this structure. I welcome ideas, suggestions, and criticisms from the family of our editors, authors, and referees.

We are fortunate to have Professor Lorne Campbell, Queen's University Kingston, on our editorial board since the inception of our journal. He has been a very active editor, managing reviews of many papers, and contributing three of his own papers to the STSIP journal until his 83rd birthday this year. As he leaves the editorial board, we thank Professr Campbell very much and wish all the best for him. His dedication to the sampling community will be inherited by the younger generations.

Abdul and I are very grateful to Professors Akram Aldroubi, Thierry Blu, Carlos Cabrelli, Paulo Ferreira, Karlheinz Gröchenig, Gerhard Schmeisser, Hidemitsu Ogawa, Kil Hyun Kwon, Ahmed Zayed, and Masaru Kamada for their great help with the journal.

Last, but not least, STSIP will remain Abdul's youngest cherished child!
