Farewell

摘要

In the early 1990s, I was Editor for Network Management for the IEEE Transactions on Communications when I was approached by Sy Marchand of Plenum Publishing about starting a journal focusing on network management. As I was involved in network operations and management projects at Bell Labs at that time, it seemed like a natural fit. I agreed to launch this new publication. The first issue of JNSM came out in March 1993. The editorial board consisted of 30 well-known researchers, managers, and executives in the field. As you might expect, most of the journal operations were done via letter and snail mail. Over the years the use of email and electronic files increased, and in 1995 a web site was established for the journal by Prof. Deep Medhi, then a new member of JNSM editorial board.
