| ==Description==
| | Ya learn smoething new everyday. It's true I guess! |
| '''WikiCFP''' is a wiki for Calls For Papers.
| |
| | |
| {{tag|Academic}} conferences and journals often broadcast a [http://wikicfp.com/cfp/allcat "call for papers"] on some specific theme. People doing {{tag|research}} in that area will submit a rough draft paper, and the conference organizers / journal editors will invite the people who "make the cut" to give a full presentation at the conference / write a complete journal article.
| |
| | |
| Some of the most popular themes in 2009 are:
| |
| "communications",
| |
| "{{tag|artificial intelligence}}" (AI),
| |
| "image processing",
| |
| "data mining"
| |
| "natural language processing" (NLP),
| |
| "wireless",
| |
| "{{tag|robot}}ics",
| |
| "distributed systems", etc.
| |
| | |
| We hope that the "wiki way" will avoid "Scylla and Charybdis" problem: on the one hand, overwhelming people overwhelmed by invitations to too many conferences and journals that they are not at all interested in; and on the other, missing out on what would have been excellent presentations and journal articles by certain people by neglecting to invite those people.
| |
| | |
| {{tag|GreatFeature}}: you can list the conferences you are interested in on your user page, and then "sort by deadline".
