Abstract :
Having reached the end of my second term as editor in chief, the time has come for Micro to move forward to the next phase of its evolution. I am delighted to announce that Dr. Erik Altman from IBM Research is the new Micro EIC. He has already begun making his mark on Micro, and my transition to "former EIC" has been a breeze given Erik\´s experience, enthusiasm, and ideas for moving Micro forward. The six articles in this issue certainly end my tenure as EIC on a high note.
