Abstract

TOPLAS will have four issues per year from now on! The goal is to have each of the four issues contain 5--6 articles, instead of the previous schedule of six issues that each typically contained 3--4 articles. Historically, TOPLAS had four issues per volume from 1980 to 1992, and all but three of those issues contained 5 or more articles. I hope that the TOPLAS readers will enjoy the fewer, thicker issues of TOPLAS. I thank the associate editors who continue to serve TOPLAS, and I also thank Wei Li and Aaron Stump who in the Winter of 2012 reached the end of their terms and stepped down as associate editors. Welcome to Michael Hicks who is a new associate editor.
