We are keeping 12 issues a yearand we try not to have a waiting queue for the publication ofthe papers. Anyway, we can have access to accepted papersimmediately on-line.This year, our issues are already scheduled as follows:Jan-09: MMM 2008 Special Issue (14th Multi MediaModeling Conference, Kyoto, Japan)Feb-09: Regular IssueMar-09: Regular IssueApr-09: SMI 2008 Special Issue (IEEE International Con-ference on Shape Modeling and Applications,Stony Brook, NY, USA)May-09–July-09: CGI 2009 (Triple special issue. Victoria,British Columbia, Canada)Aug-09: Regular IssueSep-09: Special issue 3D Physiological Human WorkshopOct-09: SIBGRAPI 2008 (Brazilian Symposium on Com-puter Graphics and Image Processing, CampoGrande, Brazil)Nov-09: Regular IssueDec-09: IEEE VS-Games 2009 Special Issue (IEEE Inter-national Conference in Games and Virtual Worldsfor Serious Applications, Coventry, UK)*I would like also to thank our editorial board membersfor their strong commitment. We will have some change inthe management of the journal as until now; we have man-N. Magnenat-Thalmann ()MIRALAB-CUI, University of Geneva, 24 rue Général Dufour,1211 Genève 4, Switzerlande-mail: thalmann@miralab.unige.chaged all the reviews at the editorial office in Geneva and havetaken all final decisions. In the coming future, papers will besubmitted to me as usual, but I will dispatch the submittedpapers to the corresponding associate editor and he/she willbe able to select at least 4 reviewers to review the papersand take a decision. This will increase the number of poten-tial reviewers and surely accelerate the review process.I would also like to thank the external reviewers that helpus to do more than 1000 reviews a year as the acceptancerate is around 35%, which means that 65% of the papers arenot accepted but still reviewed at least by 3 reviewers. . . .Finally, I would like also to thank Ms. Gabriele Stjepa-novic from Springer in Germany for her hard work in thepreparation of the publication of the papers, as well as ourSpringer editor, Ms. Beverley Ford. My gratitude goes alsoto the Visual Computer assistants at the editorial office, BartKevelham and Parag Chaudhury, who really spent a lot oftime and effort to help in the managing of the papers. Specialthanks go to Renz Baniquett, assistant publisher at Springer,for his constant availability and kindness to solve any prob-lems or questions that authors or we ourselves can raise.I can surely say that we have a great support in this journaland this is a pleasure to work with such dedicated people.I wish to all of you a nice academic year and I hope thatwe will continue to improve the quality of our publicationsand improve the ranking of the journal.Editor-in-ChiefThe Visual Computer84 N.
