Parallel Economics: A New Supply-Demand Philosophy via Parallel Organizations and Parallel Management

Abstract

Welcome to the new issue of IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems (TCSS). First, I would like to share the news of my resignation from the position of Editor-in-Chief (EiC) due to my new position as the Vice President (VP) for Human Machine Systems of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS). SMCS requires its Transactions EiC to have no membership in its Executive Committee or Board of Governors (BoG). In 2017, I offered my resignation from the BoG in order to be the EiC of TCSS, and now I need to resign my EiC position since I have been elected as SMCS's VP in the end of 2019. Thank you all for this extremely valuable three-and-half year experience in a field I truly love and enjoy, but it is time to let new leadership to lead TCSS to a new level of quality and excellence. A call for new EiC was announced by VP for Publication at the end of May, and I am happy to inform you that, by the deadline of June 10, seven scholars from North America, Europe, and Asia have been recommended for the EiC position. A decision will be made by the Selection Committee in July and I will announce the result in the next issue.
