WSDM 2010

Third ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining

3-6 February 2010 -- New York City, USA

WSDM 2010

WSDM (pronounced "wisdom") is a young ACM conference intended to be the publication venue for research in the areas of search and data mining. Indeed, the pace of innovation in these areas prevents proper coverage by conferences of broader scope. The high attendance at the first two WSDMs, held at Stanford University and Barcelona in February 2008 and 2009, has confirmed community interest in a more focused venue.

WSDM publishes original, high quality submissions related to search and data mining on the Web, with an emphasis on practical but principled novel models of search and retrieval, algorithm design and analysis, economics implications, and in-depth experimental analysis of accuracy and performance.

WSDM is co-sponsored by ACM SIGIR, SIGKDD, SIGMOD, and SIGWEB.
