ACM SIGKDD Test-of-Time Paper Awards—- Call for Nomination
The ACM SIGKDD Test-of-Time Paper Award Committee invites you to nominate papers for the 2016 SIGKDD Test-of-Time Paper Award. This award recognizes papers that have made a sustained and significant impact in the KDD community over at least a decade. The nomination deadline is May 15, 2016.
In the past two years, we had the KDD conference Test-of-Time paper award. This year ACM formally approved the award as a SIGKDD wide Test-of-Time award. It thus now covers all SIGKDD sponsored conferences. At the moment, SIGKDD sponsors three conferences, KDD, WSDM, and ASONAM. However, WSDM only started in 2008 and thus its papers are still not eligible. ASONAM started in 2009, but SIGKDD only became a sponsor in 2013. Thus its papers are still not eligible.
Eligibility:
- The paper must have been published as a full paper in KDD 2006 or earlier.
- The paper was not a recipient of the KDD Test-of-Time Award in 2014 and 2015. Past recipients of this award can be found at http://www.kdd.org/awards/kdd-test-of-time-award.
Nomination:
- Of the qualified papers, automatic nominations will be given to the top five papers published in year 2004, 2005, and 2006 in the KDD conferences ranked by citations according to the ACM Digital Library. These papers can be found at http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~weiwang/KDDautomaticnominations.html.These papers do not need additional nomination.
- To nominate a paper not in the list, please provide a letter outlining the significance of the work and reasons why the paper deserves the award. The nomination should be endorsed by at least three SIGKDD members. None of the endorsers should be an author of the paper being nominated. Self-nomination is allowed.
Please email your nomination to testoftimeawardchair@kdd.org
Submission due by May 15, 2016
