ISD Magazine (http://www.isdmag.com/), the journal of the systems design process, announced that Peggy Aycinena has been named editor, effective immediately. Aycinena, formerly senior editor, will become the primary editorial contact for ISD Magazine and isdmag.com, its internet site. She will also manage the editorial department of the publication. Aycinena has a varied background in physics, engineering, avionic control systems, teaching, and editing.

This promotion is one facet of ISD's participation in the eeDesign Web community, launched May 15 by the EDTN Network, an online network of CMP Media Inc.'s Electronics Group. Under Aycinena's direction ISD will continue to solicit and print candid, technically articulate articles on all aspects of system design and integrated circuit design employing language-based design methodologies. ISD will also continue to develop unique content for isdmag.com and to publish the magazine electronically on this site, under ISD's Web-Supported Print strategy. "Peggy has already had a key role in the operation of the magazine, and has built solid relationship in the design community," said Ron Wilson, publisher of ISD. "She is the ideal editor to take the publication forward into the next century."

Tets Maniwa, former Editor of ISD, is now director of content for the EEdesign community on EDTN. Working with the news gathering capabilities of EE Times, the peer-to-peer editorial focus of ISD Magazine and the editorial resources of the other publications in the CMP Electronics Group, EDTN will create an interactive, on-line community for practicing designers to explore and extend their craft. "Tets pioneered the peer-to-peer approach of ISD, created many of the techniques we use for soliciting strong articles, and steered the magazine through its transition from private ownership to membership in the CMP Electronics Group," Wilson stated. "The magazine in large measure owes its current form and editorial success to his efforts, and we look forward to working with him in his new role."
