ACM SGB Meeting Materials September 20-21, 2003
(1) SIGDA puts together a compendium to capture and archive research contributions that take place at their conferences. SIGDA uses leverage by stating if ACM doesn't do it, IEEE will and if IEEE doesn't do it, ACM will. SIGDA's compendium was presented to ACM and other SIGs with positive feedback.
(2) SIGMOD did a version of the compendium, but found it to be more costly than anticipated.
(3) SIGARCH is doing a compendium as well. The challenge is gathering outside copyright information. The data is more available now and if utilize ACM's data, it is already scanable and includes it accurately.
(4) SIGMICRO allows authors to rebuttal paper reviews. SIGMICRO had an incident when someone gave an obnoxious review and the Program Chair did not notice it and sent it to the author. That particular review was discarded and other reviews were counted. Software is available through Kemal Ebcioglu.
(5) SIGARCH states that we must be observant with the Program Committee because with additional activities can be difficult. Also, just as there is a page limit on papers, there should also be a page limit on rebuttals. Long rebuttal reviews makes the process harder to run.
(6) SIGCHI feels that more precise guidelines should be given to the authors and the Program Committee regarding the rebuttal reviews. This may be more work, but the outcome is better.
(7) SIGPLAN feels that depending on the percentage of papers receive; Program Chairs should not have the need to read every paper.
(8) Be cautious when entering a co-sponsored agreement with other organizers. SIGOPS recent USENIX agreement caused quite concern.
Is Now the Time to Give LLMs Access to the ACM Digital Library? Share Your Feedback
Read a message from ACM President Elisa Bertino about the possibility of opening the ACM Digital Library to LLMs. While ACM's Publications Board and Digital Library Board have discussed allowing LLMs to train on articles in the Digital Library, ACM has not made a decision regarding whether or how the Digital Library might be used for LLM training. Your input is an important part of ensuring ACM continues to serve the computing community thoughtfully and responsibly. If you have not yet shared your perspectives, please read President Bertino's message and consider participating in the survey.
