Upon my invitation to participate in this Special Series of Bits and Bytes, some members of the JCCS edtorial board have accepted to comment on a 2014 paper that they enjoyed reading very much.

My « instructions to authors » were quite simple and permissive ….

« the length of your comment can be from a few lines up to a few pages....Your choice of topic : Any article that you particularly enjoyed reading this year ».

I am sincerely grateful to our colleagues who responded positively and accepted to « play the game » in spite of the short notice given, very busy schedules and other deadlines.

I would like to emphasize that all readers are kindly invited to feed the Bits and Bytes section all year long !
