The National Institute of Telecommunications in Warsaw, Poland dates its existence since 1934, when a similar Institute was established by Professor Janusz Groszkowski. After the Second World War, the Institute was re-established in its present form in 1951. In its long history, the Institute was the editor of various research periodicals. Before the beginning of the new millennium, the Institute decided to start two new scientific journals: one more technical, edited in Polish and another more fundamental, edited in English. The journal edited in Polish aims at Polish audience and has more technical, informational character, while the journal edited in English, presented here, is more fundamental and aims at European audience. Both journals, however, respond to the needs of information revolution and the development of information society.The development of information society is characterised by its three giant megatrends: the social megatrend of changing professions due to the dematerialization of work resulting from information technologies; the technical megatrend of convergence or integration due to the digitalisation of most equipment and systems; finally, the megatrend of intellectual challenges resulting from various cultural, social, economic, legal and ethical problems generated by the development of information society technologies. Both new journals should respond to all these megatrends: both are oriented towards the increasing integration of telecommunications, computer science or informatics and other fields of information technology. The Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology aims to become an international research journal with high standards of editorship, serving between others Central and Easter Europe, edited in English. It will be published as a quaterly, in first editions as biquaterly. This journal will be publishing results of scientific research, both fundamental and experimental, broadening the knowledge not only in the field of telecommunications and other fields of information technology - in particular informatics and computer science, photonics, electronics, control sience, telematics etc. - but also in interdisciplinary studies related to information society and technology. We invite all authors from Europe to contribute to our new journal. All standard forms of publications - regular papers, short papers and letters, invited papers, book reviews, informations about scientific conferences and other events - will be considered for publications. We hope that the readers and contributors will find our new journal interesting.
