Call for Nominations
Editor-In-Chief
ACM Transactions On Modeling and Computer Simulation
The term of the current Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMACS) 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 TOMACS EiC, beginning on February 1, 2010. 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 TOMACS, 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 Rights and Responsibilities in ACM Publishing. For more information about the role of the EiC, see ACM's Evaluation Criteria for 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 TOMACS. The deadline for submitting nominations is 30 November 2009, although nominations will continue to be accepted until the position is filled.
Please send all nominations to the nominating committee chair, Richard Nance (nance AT vt DOT edu).
The search committee members are:
- Richard Nance (Virginia Tech), Chair
- Russell Cheng (University of Southampton)
- Peter Haas (IBM Almaden)
- James Henriksen (Wolverine Software Corp.)
- David Nicol (University of Illinois)
- Ronald Boisvert (NIST), ACM Publications Board Liaison
