Academic Circles

In this post, I will highlight three academic conferences that I would like to publish/ present my work at.

1. ACM JCDL (Joint Conference on Digital Libraries): "The intended community for this conference includes those interested in such aspects of digital libraries as infrastructure; institutions; metadata; content; services; digital preservation; system design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; evaluation of performance; evaluation of usability; collection development; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; social, institutional, and policy issues; user communities; and associated theoretical topics." - ACM JCDL website.  I am specifically interested in this conference since it keeps me updated on recent breakthroughs, research directions and current work that is being targeted by the digital library community.
   
2. IEEE TKDE (Transactions in Knowledge and Data Engineering): This IEEE journal targets research which potentially targets an audience whose interests are acquistion, management and storage of knowledge. More specifically the areas of impact include research in the fields of data mining, databases, knowledge engineering etc.This journal is a tier one archival journal which relates very specifically to my research interests in schema matching and value mapping problems.
   
3. WWW (World Wide Web Conference) conference: The WWW conference series is managed by the International World Wide Web Conferences Steering Committee (IW3C2). It aims to provide an excellent community to discuss the evolution of the Web, the standardization of its associated technologies, and the impact of those technologies on society and culture. This conference aligns with my interests in the Semantic Web and the next generation web. I have also found a number of interesting published articles here relating to wikipedia and its use for semantic translation, natural language processing and geographic entity similarity.
