[SIGCIS-Members] Our "Automation by Design..." Special Issue of IEEE Annals is out!

[Jeffrey Yost]

Many thanks to David Hemmendinger for a correction. Given there is only
2008 to 2022 content on MUSE for *IEEE Annals* now, there seems to be a few
years delay, but it is available now at IEEE Xplore. David also pointed out
that it is available on the *IEEE Annals* main page too as of today. (it
was on Xplore a day earlier, yesterday).  That CSDL *IEEE Annals'* URL is:
computer.org/annals
