This issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine is devoted to MPEG digital audio- and video-coding standards. Dr. Thomas Sikora (Heinrich Hertz Instiotute for Communication Technology, Germany), a member of this magazine\'s editorial board, is the guest editor for the issue and provides an introduction for the two articles. He was assisted in his duties by Dr. Susan Werness, a past member of the editorial board.
The first article covers MPEG audio-compression technology. It is authored by Dr. Peter Noll, who served as the MPEG Audio Chair until 1995. The second article focuses on MPEG video-compression algorithms and is authored by Dr. Sikora, previous standardization effort.

I am pleased every time I receive input from the readers of this magazine, either in response to a published article or to propose writing an article. I am even more pleased when readers\' comments are triggered by something that appeared in one of my editorials. Actually, I have received a couple of these, proving (gratifyingly) that the editorial was read all the way to the end! Keep those cards and letters coming!

Even before opening this issue, I\'m sure you noticed a new \"look\" to the magazine. Thanks to the efforts of the IEEE Magazines Department staff and the Signal Processing Society\'s own staff in Piscataway, New Jersey. Every effort is being made so that IEEE Signal ProcessingMagazine is a more enjoyable \"read.\"
