From sigbovik-announce at lists.andrew.cmu.edu Fri Feb 16 17:01:50 2024 From: sigbovik-announce at lists.andrew.cmu.edu (SIGBOVIK Announcements) Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 17:01:50 -0500 Subject: [SIGBOVIK] SIGBOVIK 2024 Call for Papers and Reviews Message-ID: To All Students, Faculty, Staff and Sentient AIs: The eighteenth annual SIGBOVIK conference will take place at Carnegie Mellon University on Friday, April 5, 2024 in Rashid Auditorium (GHC 4401). The Special Interest Group on Harry Q. Bovik is a multidisciplinary conference dedicated to lesser-known research areas neglected by mainstream conferences, such as: - Complexity practice, - Highlight syntaxing, - Multi-armed philanthropists, - Connotational semantics, - Science computers, - Data of unusual size, - And many more! The submission deadline is March 15. Everyone is encouraged to submit, regardless of affiliation, discipline, rationality, or goodwill. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged (but not required) to give a five minute presentation of their work. Further disinformation is available at our website: http://sigbovik.org/2024 To keep up with our announcements, subscribe to our low-traffic mailing list: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/sigbovik-announce If you have no idea what's going on: SIGBOVIK is an evening of tongue-in-cheek academic presentations. If we have a goal, it?s to poke fun at our fields and provide a venue for silly ideas with (often but not always) serious executions. SIGBOVIK has both a published proceedings and live talks, and everyone is welcome to participate in either or both of these. All subjects are welcome, although be advised that the primary audience is computer scientists. The best way to get a feel for SIGBOVIK is to look at our past proceedings, which you can find at sigbovik.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From sigbovik-announce at lists.andrew.cmu.edu Sat Mar 9 13:39:00 2024 From: sigbovik-announce at lists.andrew.cmu.edu (SIGBOVIK Announcements) Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2024 13:39:00 -0500 Subject: [SIGBOVIK] SIGBOVIK 2024 Deadline Extension Message-ID: After receiving a great deal of feedback from around the internet (from sources such as email, Zoom, social media, and those who pushed to prod), it has come to our attention that many of you are rushing to complete your submissions before Friday's inconvenient deadline. However, the Association for Computational Heresy is more aware than any organization that great research cannot be rushed, and SIGBOVIK accepts only the greatest research (as indicated in confidence by our venerable originator, Harry Q. Bovik). Consequently, to give you the time to ensure that your research is *great*, we are *extending the submission deadline to Friday, 22 March 2024.* If you have already submitted a paper, this provides you with *an entire week* to devise and submit a second, third, or fourth paper. Remember that submitting additional papers can, to a rough mathematical approximation, only increase the probability of at least one of your papers being accepted! And if you (regrettably) haven't started any of your SIGBOVIK papers yet, this provides you with *an entire week* to devise and submit a first paper! We urge you to consider how nice your CV would look with one or more SIGBOVIK papers, especially if they receive one of our numerous awards. Further, anecdotal and (perhaps) scientific evidence shows that successfully completing a paper after starting it late results in a beneficial feedback loop of increasingly hasty paper submissions reinforced by self-satisfaction in one's own last-minute paper-writing abilities. Not to increase the pressure, but please note that over 5 papers have already been submitted this year. In other words, the number of papers this year is, to your knowledge, not even bounded above. The acceptance rate is expected to be highly competitive to maintain our status as a top-notch venue. This will help us close a deal with CSRankings.org (the #1 website for approximately listing universities by the population of their computer science departments) to count our venue. We look forward to your submissions!
