New EIC Editorial
Beng Chin Ooi · IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering · 2008
T IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE) has been the leading journal in the database, data mining, and knowledge engineering communities, with its broad coverage of topics making it unique among other journals. My goal is to maintain the broad coverage of TKDE while, at the same time, making it an even more attractive journal compared to others having a narrower focus. The outgoing editor-in-chief and the past editors-in-chief have contributed much to TKDE, and I thank them for providing me with a fi rm foundation to build on. Moving forward, there are remaining challenges, and here I outline some plans that I hope to put in place to address those challenges during my term as the journal’s editor-in-chief.
