I don't know!<br />But<br /><br />1) Shouldn't we try to have a discussion on that? (Perhaps it would have been better if it was discussed more when ICS started, but it seems a conversation we could still have.)<br />2) Shouldn't we try to learn from what they've done to help figure out what would work best for us?Michael Mitzenmacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161161032642563814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-82752816912843664112011-10-23T19:27:20.147-04:002011-10-23T19:27:20.147-04:00Theory is some how a bit different from systems, n...Theory is some how a bit different from systems, no?

What I actually said was:<br />"While the titles don't suggest to me that ITCS is necessarily a home for more "innovative" papers..."<br /><br />Note the use of the word suggest! You could perhaps add it to your vocabulary! <br /><br />If you'd like a clarification, I didn't see anything in the titles that mentally distinguished these papers to me from what I'd see in a FOCS/STOC program. On the other hand, HOTxxx (like HotNets) papers seem to be aiming for a bit of the wacky, off-the-normal-path research, and often a fraction of the titles reflect that.Michael Mitzenmacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161161032642563814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-14542110469105816362011-10-23T12:02:51.628-04:002011-10-23T12:02:51.628-04:00You can tell from the titles that the papers are n...You can tell from the titles that the papers are not innovative?

The fir...First, congrats to the accepted papers. <br /><br />The first year this conference ran there was no way you could confuse the accepted papers with the normal STOC/FOCS papers (though some had probably been rejected from STOC/FOCS several times). I thought it was kinda nice to have a different kind of conference where I could understand most of the talks. <br /><br />(Correct me if I am wrong) This year the list looks more similar to the STOC/FOCS variety--still with some big exceptions. While it would be nice to have a third STOC/FOCS option. It would be sad if the original flavor of this conference was lost to provide that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-63319286516734539002011-10-22T17:16:12.026-04:002011-10-22T17:16:12.026-04:00Hm, I personally thought that more like 13.4% of a...Hm, I personally thought that more like 13.4% of all innovation in computer science is in quantum computing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-49853279380094087962011-10-22T01:58:57.664-04:002011-10-22T01:58:57.664-04:00Quantum's hopping these days.
