To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the IBM Journals, this report highlights a selection of significant papers published in the Journals, along with brief commentaries. The Journal editors chose papers which were very highly cited in the technical literature, described technologies of historic significance, or provided an important overview of a field.

The business impact of even brief failures has led to the need for continuous (or nearly continuous) IT service availability in all circumstances, including disaster conditions. Individual systems can fail, but the end-to-end IT systems infrastructure must always be there to service the business. This issue of the IBM Systems Journal contains 15 papers that describe alternative infrastructure designs and system platform technologies being deployed or proposed by IBM and some of its clients to successfully meet this continuous availability challenge.

To this end, innovative techniques, tools, and methodologies from a variety of SOA deployments are being developed for use in future solutions. This issue contains eight papers which describe challenges and insights related to modeling, testing, and governance, which have emerged from SOA engagements in a variety of industries.

This issue of the Journal is dedicated to responsive systems, a class of systems that includes real-time and event-based systems. An introductory paper, authored by the issue coordinators, is followed by ten papers that cover platforms, middleware, and development support for responsive systems.

This issue presents 14 papers on a variety of aspects of service science, management, and engineering in an effort to help define and promote research in this emerging multidisciplinary field.
