WSDM Feb 3-6, 2010, New York City: Call for Participation

WSDM is a young ACM conference intended to be the publication venue for research in the areas of search and data mining

---

WSDM (pronounced "wisdom") is a young ACM conference (held in Stanford and Barcelona in 2008 and 2009) intended to be the publication venue for research in the areas of search and data mining. Indeed, the pace of innovation in these areas prevents proper coverage by conferences of broader scope. The high attendance at the first two WSDMs, held at Stanford University and Barcelona in February 2008 and 2009, has confirmed community interest in a more focused venue.

WSDM publishes original, high quality submissions related to search and data mining on the Web, with an emphasis on practical but principled novel models of search and retrieval, algorithm design and analysis, economics implications, and in-depth experimental analysis of accuracy and performance. A best paper award will be presented at the conference; the four papers nominated for the award are listed below. Besides the technical talks of the accepted papers, the conference will feature two invited keynote talks by:

• Susan Athey (Chief Economist @ Microsoft and Professor of Economics, Harvard University)
• Soumen Chakrabarti (Associate Professor, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay)

The conference will also host the The Third Annual Workshop on Search in Social Media (SSM 2010) on February 3rd, 2010.

WSDM 2010 is co-sponsored by SIGIR, SIGKDD, SIGMOD, and SIGWEB.
