While maintaining very high standards, SIDMA is also very broad, perhaps the broadest among discrete mathematics journals. Prasad's appointment has been announced following the reports of two SIAM committees charged with charting future direction of the Journal. The committees recommended that "in choosing the next Editor-In-Chief for SIDMA, SIAM should search for a researcher whose own work displays the breadth sought for the journal."
Thus it speaks very highly of Prasad's recognition in the Discrete Mathematics community that he was selected to lead the journal for the next term.
