Abstract: It has been a wonderful four years of steering this flagship publication. I had the privilege of coming across some of the best ideas in our field and seeing the rapid adoption of new ideas in our community. TCAD has embraced new areas in system design encompassing design and design automation of cyber physical systems, embedded systems, and Internet of Things. Our special issues and keynotes over the past few years have aimed at focusing on emerging fields such as neuromorphic computing and hardware security. TCAD continues to highlight core innovations in its traditionally strong topic areas such as physical design, synthesis, and simulation. These topics have also been strongly influenced by emergence of new devices, circuits, and computational models.
