Time flies.Since I took over the Editor-in-Chief position from this journal's founding Editor-in-Chief,Professor Fei-Yue Wang in 2018,five years has past just like a second.Looking back from today,as a team,we,including editorial board members,editorial staff members,our early career advi-sory board members,all contributing authors and all review-ers,should be proud of what this journal has achieved.This journal is the first of its kind of journals,resulting from IEEE's collaboration with Chinese Association of Automation-an outside-USA professional organization/institution.We have overcome many barriers and difficulties,and well proven that we,united and working together,can accomplish a challeng-ing mission.We indeed set a great example for IEEE and its many societies to pursue more and more collaboration with other publishers,organizations and institutions from not only China but also such countries as India,Brazil,and Japan.
