© 2013 Association for Computing Machinery The New Computing Classification System (CCS)

© 2013 Association for Computing Machinery What is the ACM CCS?

© 2013 Association for Computing Machinery Analytics / Profile Pages 1 st Generation Analytics Tools launched in 2011 & st Generation system aggregates all of the data contained in the full-text collection and Guide at the article level. Based on a recent workshop conducted in the fall of 2012 with members of the CS & library communities, 2 nd Generation system is now under development. 2 nd Generation system will aggregate data at the people level, in addition to the article level. This will give users the ability to search people and people-based relationships more easily, using various facets such as time, co-authorship, subject areas, institutions, publications, etc. For example, the system will have the ability to answer questions, such as: –What people published in the area of AI between ? –What people were affiliated with MIT, Stanford, or Berkeley from that worked in the field of Computer Security? We will demo the 1 st Generation system in a few minutes
