Computer Science Conferences – Statistics and Acceptance Rates
There are a bunch of sites with statistics on computer science conferences, but it always bothered me that there was no central place to search for conference statistics like acceptance rates. I also wanted to have a visual display of statistics similar to Google Finance. In this age of AJAX and Web 2.0, the web page should also be very fluid.
My first attempt to build such a web page is here. Right now, it scrapes the data from Kevin Almeroth’s excellent stats page and presents it in a visual form. The scraping is still a bit rough, so there might be some errors. I would like to add more features like comparing conferences, searching and adding more conferences.

The visual representation of the conference statistics is really good and useful. However, when the no.of attendees is not available, it is better to show “not known” instead of the current “0″. In addition, I feel that the expansion of the conference abbreviation should be displayed when we are looking at a particular conference.
