In 2004, IEEE Distributed Systems Online (http://dsonline.computer.org) becomes the IEEE’s first online-only publication. The original material from our monthly issues will be in the CS Digital Library, including our peer-reviewed, archived material since our launch in 2000. IEEE Internet Computing has cosponsored DSO since 2002. We value this connection and look forwardto future collaboration. We are particularly interested in novel ways in which DSO can extend the material presented in a paper magazine.
