All,
It has finally arrived—the last issue of the year. It is a bit later than usual, but as good as ever.
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Editorial Team, who continue to identify and source articles for us. Keeping up with deadlines is always a challenge, but in the end, we manage to complete each issue and deliver it to you.
In this issue, we have four excellent articles for you to read: three technical articles and one highlighting chapter news. I would like to emphasize that we are always happy to receive information from your chapter events. By doing so, we aim to strengthen relationships between chapters and also demonstrate that our work is not only about technical parameters and emerging technologies.
Each year, we maintain a steady publication rate of more than 20 articles. Our future goal is to see whether this number can be increased slightly.
This time of year is always very busy for everyone, with projects being finalized and preparations underway for the Christmas holidays. That said, I truly hope you will find some time to read at least a few of the articles in this final issue of the year.
I would also like to highlight the upcoming SFPE PBD Conference, which will be held in Singapore in April. I can assure you that a large number of very interesting presentations will be delivered. I sincerely hope to see many of you at the event—please mark your calendars so you don’t forget.
I will keep this final Editor’s Column of the year short and simply say that I hope you enjoy these “Christmas gifts” from SFPE.
If any readers feel they have an important topic they would like to share with the industry, please do not hesitate to contact us—we would be happy to help make that happen.
As always, a sincere thank you to everyone who has dedicated significant time and effort to making this issue possible.
The next issue will be released in March.
Finally, I wish you all a very enjoyable holiday break.
Yours sincerely,

Jimmy Jönsson, Managing Editor
