It seems that I made some disorder of communities and conferences. -__-b
And this week I change my focus on the academic communities that I believe I might be part of someday. Well, I think it is very consistent with the conferences I am interested in.
A little different from conferences, there are some associations which gather a lot of scholars and professionals in the same research area. IAPP, which stands for International Association of Privacy Professionals, is a great example. IAPP is the world's largest association of privacy professionals. Based in York, Maine, U.S.A., this organization represents over 5,000 members from business, governments and academia across 32 countries.
ACM SIGCHI, the ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction, brings together people working on the design, evaluation, implementation, and study of interactive computing systems for human use. It is another community I look forward to joining in very much. Not only because it matches my interest, but also it has the most prestigious scholars in HCI area. And I believe I can learn a lot and get greatly inspired from them.
Well, although SOUPS does not have official organizations or associations for it, it has a special mailist for scholars in this area. Maybe it is not so appropriate to call it a "community", but I believe due to the specialty of this research area, to be a member of it is great experience.
