processing. Of particular interest, Prof.
Falk makes good use of social media
already including Twitter and YouTube for
his lab's activities. This position is relatively new, and the exact role is still evolving. At this point, we see this area editor
promoting SPM's content in different
forms of social media; we welcome suggestions from SPS membership on how to
best use this form of communication.

Special initiatives
Finally, I am happy to
introduce the area editor for special initiatives, Prof. Andres
Kwasinski, from the
Rochester Institute of
Andres Kwasinski Technology. Prof. Kwasinski works in multimedia wireless
communication, cognitive radio, joint
source-channel coding, and cooperative
networks. He has extensive experience
with SPM including serving as the
area editor of columns and forum and
also social media and outreach. Prof.

Kwasinksi's first special initiative will be
to help build a set of guidebooks that document the activities of the area editors and
the EIC for SPM.

New editorial board members
I also want to recognize the following
new editorial board members:
■ Prof. Jong Chul Ye, KAIST, South
Korea
■ Prof. Meinard Mueller, FriedrichAlexander Universität ErlangenNürnberg, Germany
■ Dr. Ananthram Swami, Army Research Labs, United States
■ Prof. Clem Karl, Boston University,
Massachusetts
■ Prof. Osvaldo Simeone, Kings College
London, United Kingdom
■ Prof. Douglas O'Shaughnessy,
INRS, Universite du Quebec, Canada
■ Prof. Helen Meng, City University of
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR of China
■ Prof. Erik Larsson, Linköping University, Sweden
■ Prof. David Love, Purdue

Prof. Daniel Bliss, Arizona State
University
■ Prof. Volka Cevher, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne.
The editorial board (known as the
senior editorial board within SPM) is
responsible for providing feedback on
feature article and special issue proposals, as well as handling full-length feature
articles acting as the associate editor. The
editorial board members also provide
leads for future articles and special issues.
There are a number of open positions
that still need to be filled. I am still looking for people to spearhead the industry
and humor initiatives I outlined in my
editorial in the January 2018 issue of
SPM. As always, your contributions are
needed for special issues, feature articles,
columns, the e-Newsletter, and even for
the new "Humor" column, which you can
find on page 9 in this issue.
