It brings me pleasure to announce that the latest issue of IEEE Annals of the History of Computing is now available online. Here is the link to the CSDL and to Xplore (I am aware that some institutions have access through only one of these).

This is a Special Issue guest edited by Burton Grad and Dave Kasik and is entitled ‘Computer Aided Design I: Forming the CAD Software Industry’. It’s a real bumper issue, possibly Annals’ largest ever, packed with various perspectives on the CAD industry. Of particular note are the many contributions from individuals who worked in the field, including in leadership positions, providing a deep and varied set of testimonials and insider views.
