7/28 Dear CS PhDs, can someone please enlighten me on the different
conferences out there, what they're good for, how prestigious
they are, etc? -cs dumb
\_
I'll start:
// prestigious:
ISCA: Computer Architecture
\_ HPCA and Micro are also first-rate; ASPLOS is superb as well.
Hot Chips: Chip stuff, who cares about prestigious?
\_ hot chips are hot
\_ this is more of an industry work-in-progress, i-built-this-chip
conference rather than an academic one. There aren't even
really papers published at this conference.
SOSP: OS stuff. Pretty prestigious.
DAC: CAD stuff, very prestigious.
UAI: bayes net AI stuff, prestigious.
AAAI: general AI stuff, prestigious.
ISSCC: circuit design, way way prestigious
SIAM: Industrial and applied math, new algorithms
// somewhat prestigious:
USENIX: general shit. Not very elite.
Siggraph: graphics stuff
\_ Um, as a graphics guy, Siggraph is The Bomb. ~10-15% acceptance
rate, extremely prestigious. Trumps all other graphics conferences.
\_ Seriously. Is there anything more prestigious than SIGGRAPH in
the graphics field?
\_ Siggraph is Top Dog. Next tier is stuff like Visualization,
Eurographics and Eurographics Rendering, Graphics Hardware,
etc.
\_ It was a rhetorical question, but thanks for the info.
ICSE: software engineering
OOPSLA:
// not at all prestigious:
UIST: at least 5-7 years ago. User Interfaces
\_ prestigious UI is an oxymoronx
\_ While good UI is very important, UI design is the ghetto of CS.
GDC: game designers conference
???
\_ It would help if you narrowed down the field a little more.
\_ I think that any of the conferances on this list are gonna be
fairly prestigious. The not very prestigious ones are the
millions of rinky-dink shows all over the world most of us have
hundreds of rinky-dink shows all over the world most of us have
never heard of. |
