The slides and papers of the CIKM 2010 and FoSER (FSE) are available now. You can find them here.
A short, brief summary of each conference in a collection of adjectives follows now. I do not want to spend to much time describing the actual conferences, just give you a little idea of what it felt like.
CIKM2010:
- Toronto, Canada
- Free WiFi everywhere (bus, hotel, ...)
- NLP processing software engineers in the information retrieval world: outsiders with a special touch
- interesting insights
- first poster demo ever; interesting and funny
- met a guy from Turkey who studied in Germany and now lives in Finland
- spend 95% of my time inside (what was daylight again?)
- sweet potato fries (never had that b4!)
ACM SigSoft FoSER/FSE:
- Santa Fe
- cool, but sunny
- met all the people I ever cited in person
- not so visionary visionaries after all
- large workshop (150ppl.)
- hotel bed too soft
- nice restaurants
- Santa Fe is literally in the middle of nowhere
- forgot book on flight (yeah, in that seat pocket in front of me)
So that was just a short, random wrap-up. I might contribute some more once I can think of it.
Now it's back to my dissertation.
