%X This issue marks the first anniversary issue of IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL NETWORKS AND LEARNING SYSTEMS after it changed its name from IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL NETWORKS. I am happy to report that we had a great year! The number of new submissions in a year exceeded 1,000 for the first time in the history of TNN/TNNLS. IEEE TNN had a very successful development for 22 years from 1990 to 2011, and we have good reasons to believe that IEEE TNNLS will have many more years of successful growth. %J IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems %T Editorial: A Successful Change From TNN to TNNLS and a Very Successful Year %A Derong Liu %A Charles Anderson %A Ahmad Taher Azar %A Giorgio Battistelli %A Eduardo Bayro-Corrochano %A Cristiano Cervellera %A David Elizondo %A Mauri
