SIGKDD Calls for Proposals

Description

SIGKDD makes two annual test of time awards, one for a paper from the research track and the other for a paper from the applied data science track (formerly called the industrial track). The SIGKDD Awards Committee is responsible for selecting one paper from the research track of the SIGKDD Proceedings from 10 to 12 years ago and one paper from the industrial or applied data science track of the SIGKDD Proceedings from 10 to 15 years ago that have best met the “test of time,” that is, it has had the most influence since their publication. The 2025 awards will be presented at the KDD2025 Conference.

Eligibility

All papers from the research tracks of SIGKDD 2013 – 2015 are eligible for the ACM SIGKDD Research Test of Time Award. All papers from the Applied Data Science tracks of SIGKDD 2011 – 2015 are eligible for the ACM SIGKDD Applied Data Science Test of Time Award. Papers that have received a previous ACM SIGKDD Test of Time Award are not eligible. Both awards will be chosen by the 2025 SIGKDD Test of Time Awards Committee. There is no formal nomination process for this award, but we greatly appreciate input from the SIGKDD community. We are especially interested in first-hand accounts of ways in which a paper has influenced subsequent research and practice.

Nominations due Monday May 19, 2025
