The Metaverse of Mind: Perspectives on DeSci for DeEco and DeSoc

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere and deep thanks to our Editor-in-Chief, Professor MengChu Zhou, who took over my position after I was drafted for rejuvenating IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems in 2017. During the past five years, MengChu's professional leadership and dedication has transformed IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica (JAS) from its infancy to a young and high-impact publication in the world that is full of vitality and actively engaged by a group of talented and charged associate EiCs and editors, which is clearly demonstrated in MengChu's farewell editorial [1]. I am very glad that Professor Qing-Long Han, an influential and leading scientist of the world-class in AI, control, automation, and intelligent science and technology from Australia, as well as a staunch supporter and great leader of this journal from its beginning, will take over the EiC torch from MengChu next year, since I am extremely confident that our journal will reach a new high for its service and quality under his new leadership.
