Edit basic conference information

Hi,

is it possible to edit the basic conference information?

Some examples that I would like to change:

Pervasive Computing is mostly called "Pervasive" and should include "Human-Computer Interaction" as "Interests"
The "European Symposium on Ambient Intelligence" (AmI) has been renamed "European Conference on Ambient Intelligence", and then "International Joint Conference on Ambient Intelligence" (integrating the AmI.D conference "Ambient Intelligence Developments)

If it is not possible to edit this information, I would like to suggest that this is integrated. Each edit could be reviewed by an administrator or by other users before being published.

Actually, the second example shows that it would also be very helpful if conference series could reflect their history (another example is the "Ubicomp" conference). It is very common that conferences are renamed or joined, but there may also be other things happening. Academic Search should also support this, i.e. that each conference keeps its name while the conference series may evolve. (This actually calls for a separation of conference series and individual conferences, at least for some aspects.)

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

hi, Jonathan,

thank you for your feedback, right now we don't support user directly editing basic info of conferences. We will take your feedback into consideration and make necessary changes.

we did receive a couple of feedback regarding join/separate conferences, especially for the ones with long histories. What we can do right now is to link our entries to their respective homepages, and hope the owner of the conferences can explain the history and other changes.

thanks.

Hi,

I came across a few more conferences and journals (especially in Pervasive and Ubiquitous computing as well as in computer Graphics) where the interests stated in the search do not cover the range of content included. Perhaps you have means to update this? I really like the interest feature to browse /search.

http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Journal/403/cg-computers-&-graphics

http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Journal/414/cga-ieee-computer-graphics-and-applications

both are classifed as graphics only, but include many paper in "Human Computer Interaction" as well

http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Journal/664/ieee-pervasive-computing

lists "scientific computing" which is in my view wrong (I am on the editorial board of the magazine), it published material on pervasive computing, including interests such as "Networks & Communications" and "Human-Computer Interaction"

http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Journal/420/puc-personal-and-ubiquitous-computing

lists only "computer science" but this is in my view not correct (I was on the editorial board). It too is interdiciplany and published material on pervasive/ubiquitous computing, including interests such as "Networks & Communications" and "Human-Computer Interaction"

Thanks for the effort you put into this!
