==Description== | |||
'''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". | |||
