Since 1993 AI EDAM has been distinguished by its Special Issues on a wide variety of topics. There have been from two to four Special Issues every year since that time. This is a tremendous collection of knowledge and something of which the journal is very proud. The list of all Special Issues is included here to emphasize the scope of this endeavor. It includes the names of the guest editors: a who's who of the field.

We want Special Issues to be as “cutting edge” as possible and to provide an excellent, representative, high quality view of the current work on that topic. The Special Issues in Volumes 24 and 25 on Creativity, Biologically Inspired Design, and Gesture in Designing are good examples of this.

Occasionally we revisit earlier topics to show how the field is maturing. We have done that with Machine Learning in Design, Configuration, and Functional Reasoning, for example. We expect to do it again for Creativity.

Another source of Special Issues is workshops and conferences. The continuing relationship with the Design Computing and Cognition series of conferences is the prime example, with authors asked to flesh out their conference papers to full journal size and quality. All submissions receive a comprehensive review, and they are required to be significantly different from the conference papers.

Part of the Editor in Chief's job is to plan for future Special Issues. This is done by asking the Editorial Board for suggestions of topics and by keeping track of what appear to be emerging topics in workshops and conferences.

Once appropriate topics are determined for future Special Issues, guest editors are sought from the most active and authoritative researchers in the field. I am very happy to report that we have Special Issues planned out as far as the middle of 2013, with a set of first class guest editors in place.

Please check the Editor's AI EDAM webpages at http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~aiedam/SpecialIssues/ for the upcoming Special Issues and give some thought to submitting a paper to any that match your research. In addition, if you have ideas for future Special Issues, please contact me directly via <>.
