WSDM2011

WSDM (pronounced “wisdom”) is the premier international ACM conference covering research in the areas of search and data mining on the Web. The 4th ACM WSDM Conference will take place in Hong Kong, during February 9-12, 2011.

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

The official WSDM2011 conference site is the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel and Towers, located along Victoria Harbour at the top of Kowloon's Gold Mile. It is in the business and shopping district, near the ferry terminal and Mass Transit Railway (MTR). Hong Kong International Airport is 35 minutes away.
