Over 110,000 members in 190 countries worldwide. 37 Special Interest Groups covering the breadth of computer science and IT. Welcome to ACM. Facilitating Innovation & Discovery For over 60 years, ACM has been the place where the best minds in computer science have come to meet, share ideas, publish their work and change the world. In addition to ACM’s world-renowned publishing program, our range of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) convene hundreds of conferences and workshops each year, providing professionals, researchers, and academics alike with opportunities to meet and discuss the latest advances across the spectrum of computer science. ACM is also highly active in furthering the future of computing, helping to shape educational cur- ricula and policy across the world, and awarding — among other prestigious awards and prizes — the sought-after A.M. Turing Award that recognizes the key advances in computing and IT and which comes with a $1,000,000 prize provided by Google.

INTRODUCTION This article is a description of the LATEX 2ε acmsmall document class for typesetting articles in the format of the ACM small size transactions and journals—Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, Journal of the ACM, etc. It has, of course, been typeset using this document class, so it is a self-illustrating article. The reader is assumed to be familiar with LATEX, as described by Lamport [1986]. This document also describes the acmsmall bibliography style. LATEX 2ε is a document preparation system implemented as a macro package in Don- ald Knuth’s TEX typesetting system [Knuth 1984]. It is based upon the premise that the user should describe the logical structure of his document and not how the docu- ment is to be formatted.

Page 12.1216.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Ranking Scholarly Outlets for Information Technology Abstract Many well-established disciplines have a number of outlets for scholarly work, including archival journals, conference proceedings, periodicals, and others. These outlets are commonly known within the discipline, and many have an established reputation and even ranking. Faculty seeking to publish in one of these disciplines, and seeking to advance in rank and tenure status, are well served by knowing the most common scholarly outlets and their rankings. The relatively new discipline of Information Technology does not yet have a well established ranking of scholarly outlets. This paper presents the findings of a survey conducted among the members of the IT community about their perceptions of the quality of various journals and conference proceedings.

  • Data Clustering: a Review A.K
    Data Clustering: A Review A.K. JAIN Michigan State University M.N. MURTY Indian Institute of Science AND P.J. FLYNN The Ohio State University Clustering is the unsupervised classification of patterns (observations, data items, or feature vectors) into groups (clusters). The clustering problem has been addressed in many contexts and by researchers in many disciplines; this reflects its broad appeal and usefulness as one of the steps in exploratory data analysis. However, clustering is a difficult problem combinatorially, and differences in assumptions and contexts in different communities has made the transfer of useful generic concepts and methodologies slow to occur. This paper presents an overview of pattern clustering methods from a statistical pattern recognition perspective, with a goal of providing useful advice and references to fundamental concepts accessible to the broad community of clustering practitioners. We present a taxonomy of clustering techniques, and identify cross-cutting themes and recent advances. We also describe some important applications of clustering algorithms such as image segmentation, object recognition, and information retrieval. Categories and Subject Descriptors: I.5.1 [Pattern Recognition]: Models; I.5.3 [Pattern Recognition]: Clustering; I.5.4 [Pattern Recognition]: Applications— Computer vision; H.3.3 [Information Storage and Retrieval]: Information Search and Retrieval—Clustering; I.2.6 [Artificial Intelligence]: Learning—Knowledge acquisition General Terms: Algorithms Additional Key Words and Phrases: Cluster analysis, clustering applications, exploratory data analysis, incremental clustering, similarity indices, unsupervised learning Section 6.1 is based on the chapter “Image Segmentation Using Clustering” by A.K. Jain and P.J. Flynn, Advances in Image Understanding: A Festschrift for Azriel Rosenfeld (K.
