IEEE Intelligent Systems is pleased to announce the 2008 edition of the “Ten to Watch” list — a list of ten top researchers in the areas of coverage of our publication who have received their PhDs in the past couple of years. We solicited nominees from a number of sources, including the AAAI Fellows, the chairs of major CS departments around the world, a number of mailing lists in this area, and with an open call in our magazine and other public forums. We received a large number of very qualified applicants from around the world. A committee from the Advisory and Editorial Board winnowed this down to the top ten. The 2008 “Ten to Watch” recipients are:

• Luis von Ahn
  
• Philipp Cimiano
• Dmitri Dolgov
• Anat Levin
• Peter Mika
• Brian Milch
• Louis-Philippe Morency
• Boris Motik
  
• Jennifer Neville
• Erik Sudderth

Please join me in congratulating this outstanding group of young scientists.

A feature on these recipients will run in our May/June 2008 issue.

(The “Ten to Watch” was first awarded in 2006 - see the list of 2006 recipients.)
