Abstract: I T gives me great pleasure to report on the status of IEEE TDSC at the end of my first year as Editor-in-Chief of the journal.2018 was very successful for TDSC in terms of the quality and quantity of papers published as well as the impact of the work published.As of November 2018, a total of 492 new papers have been submitted to TDSC, as compared to 486 papers submitted in all of 2017, which shows an upward trend in submissions.Furthermore, to accommodate the growth in submissions as well as to ensure a timely publication of the accepted papers, in 2018 the page budget of TDSC was increased from 700 to 1100.It is also very exciting to report that as per the 2017 Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report, the impact factor of TDSC has increased with respect to the previous year and is now at 4.41.To accommodate the growth in submissions as well as to provide a broader coverage of research expertise, the editorial board is being further expanded, with special consideration to geographical distribution.A specific focus in the recruitment of new editors has been to expand the number of editors in the areas of dependability, privacy, and cyber physical systems.Such efforts will also continue during 2019.
