Foreword to the June Issue
How can Quality be measured
How can Quality be measured
In our English version we tried to collect the best papers of the last half year period. The aim is clear but it is difficult to define the specification of the “best papers”. It is an often used phrase in several journals and conferences. In general it reflects a long discussion and a voting process. In spite of this the groups of experts participating in this process are not fully happy with the result. Namely the extremely new statements, or the high level content or the excellent style can influence the readers but the weighting of them is subjective.
The problem of selection in our English issue is based on special aspects. We consider that the readers of the English version are well educated, experienced professionals, so real novelties must be presented. Reviewing the famous periodicals published in English language we evaluated the up-to-date questions of the infocom field. We tried to fit our English version to the problems which are interesting all over the world. If we find no similar paper then there are to possibilities, either it is really new or it is out of date. We hope the first will be valid.
In accordance with this principle the first group of papers deals with sound and speech research. The sound of music instruments has a great importance solving music recording problems and in the course of planning music halls. This topic is quite seldom published in telecom journals, but this result has an impact on telecom development too.
The second group deals with the protocols used in telecom network engineering. The importance of software engineering is growing. The next generation of telecom network is based mainly of new software solution.
The filtering is a traditional technology in electronic engineering, but its content is enhancing. Nowadays new problems are arising. The spam and virus filtering is an important task.
Further on we have some interesting papers discussing ratification, teleeducation and telecommunication regulation. I try to collect this miscellaneous problem und the key-world: Telecom Policy.
I hope at least one of these four broad general titles will be interesting for our kind readers. They are covering new interesting solutions in the field of telecom-infotech development the solution are offering more comfortable and rather safe methods. It means they may enhance the quality of the network, which is our primary goal.
In the next month Prof Csaba Szabó is taking over my responsibility editing this periodical. I am sure he will take over all advantages of the last 5 years. He is an experienced and talented engineer who will modernize our methods improving the content. I hope you will be happy with the new structure of the journal and the new topics achieving higher priority in the selection.
