TREND WARS

Editor's Introduction

In previous years, I conducted interviews on topics with controversial aspects and competing interests for IEEE Concurrency and later for IEEE Distributed Systems Online with luminaries in the field of distributed systems. In this new series of interviews, I'm combining these approaches to interview a few distinguished people on a single topic. I welcome your suggestions for topics and interviewees.  — Dejan Milojicic, dejan@hpl.hp.com.
