There are three types of special issues. There are special issues honoring famous linear algebraists (Taussky, Householder, Ostrowski, Wielandt and Wilkinson). Other special issues present an area of linear algebra or an application (Large Scale Matrix Problems, Combinatorics and Graph Theory, Linear Systems and Control, Linear Algebra and Statistics, Parallel Computimg). Thirdly, LAA publishes as special isues proccedings of conferences (the Oberwolfach conference on Matrix Theory and Numerical Linear Algebra, and the Athens Symposium on Operator Theory). Currently eight special issues are in various stages of production. The first to appear will be The Role of Linear Algebra in Electrical Engineering (vol. 98, January 1988). Others that are forthcoming include an issue in honor of Alan Hoffman and the proceedings of three conferences: the Victoria conference on Combinatorial Matrix Theory, the Valencia conference on Linear Algebra and Applications and the Fourth Haifa Matrix Theory conference. Recently we have announced three issues devoted to applications of linear algebra: The second special issue on Linear Systems and Control, the second special issue on Linear Algebra and Statistics, and an issue on Linear Algebra in Image Reconstruction. Details of the last three issues will appear in volume 99 (February 1988). Detailed announcements are also being circulated over na.net and img-net and in publications such as SIAM LA-News and the newsletters of the applications involved. A listing of all special issues which are in progress will henceforth appear in each regular volume of LAA, beginning with volume 99. LAA plans to continue and augment the series of special issues of all types by publishing several each year. The publication of papers in regular volumes should not be affected for in 1988 LAA will publish 14 volumes (over 4,000 pages). Well considered proposals for further special issues are invited. ******************************************************************** 100 volume index of LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 100 of LAA (March 1988) will be an index volume. It will contain the author index for papers published in the first 100 volumes of the journal. It is also planned to include a list of all members of the editorial board since the inception of the journal and, to the extent possible, a list of all referees. A complete listing of special issues with their special editors and of profiles (biographical articles) and obituaries will also be included. ******************************************************************** -- Professor Kenneth R.
