EDITORIAL

BEST PAPER AWARD 1998

The Annual Best Paper award was instituted in 1985 by the Editorial Board. Since the authors of
many high-quality papers have kindly chosen to publish their material in this journal, it is felt that
an appropriate recognition should be o!ered each year to the best among these papers.
The procedure used in choosing the winning paper has remained unchanged. Nominations
were sought from members of the Editorial Board, and the reviewers of each paper published
during the year had also been asked for nominations. The list of nominations was sent to all
members of the Editorial Board, who voted for the paper each considered to be most worthy of
the award. As before, papers where a member of the Editorial Board was an author were eligible,
although the member could neither nominate nor vote for his own paper.
After careful consideration by the Editorial Board we are pleased to announce that the joint
winners of the International Journal of Circuit ¹heory and Applications Best Paper Award for 1998
are

L. WEISS and W. MATHIS

A ¹hermodynamical Approach to Noise in Non-linear Networks
March}April 1998, pp. 147}165
and
C. REKECZKY, T. ROSKA and A. USHIDA
CNN-based Di+erence-controlled Adaptive Non-linear Image Filters
July}August 1998, pp. 375}423

A number of excellent papers were in strong contention for the award and we would like to
o!er our congratulations to the successful authors.
