WOWCS: The Workshop on Organizing Workshops, Conferences, and Symposia for Computer Systems

摘要

Many of us enjoy attending workshops, conferences, and symposia (and why not? The latter word derives from the Greek for "drinking together"). But conference publications often form the basis on which our careers are judged, and so when computer scientists find ourselves drinking together, the conversation usually turns to moaning and groaning about the problems with conferences. Reviewers miss the essential truths of our papers; authors write unre-viewable papers; PC members don't get their reviews in on time; PC meetings go on forever and then make all of the difficult decisions in a frenzied rush before dinner.
