The conference scene is well into its annual holiday shutdown, and The Conference Circuit is following suit. This posting (the 180th of the year) will be the last until 2012.
It is my pleasure to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and a healthy and successful New Year!

The program for the annual International Information Conference on Search, Data Mining and Visualization (II-SDV) is now available on the conference website, which give a rationale for attending this meeting:
Search engines, data and text mining, visualization and text analysis are subjects for many academic research meetings. Often they are also included in other information conferences. But the II-SDV meeting is the only event that focuses on these tools for those in the professional information community. Similarly, there are many meetings that examine the collection of intelligence. But the II-SDV meeting is the only event that focuses on tools for intelligence.
A fascinating interactive visualization of the program (see screenshot below) is also available. One can click on a subject and see all the speakers addressing it, or click on a speaker’s name and see the abstract of their presentation. It’s definitely worth a look!

The upcoming BOBCATSSS conference (Amsterdam, January 23-25) has reached its capacity of 400 attendees and is now sold out. That a conference of this nature would sell out 6 weeks before it occurs is surely a good sign in these economically difficult times.

The program for the 2012 BOBCATSSS conference is now available here. This conference is noteworthy because it is organized by students from several European universities (the acronym is derived from the names of the universities). The 2012 theme is “Information in E-motion”, and the dates are January 23-25.
