Abstract

The author proposes that computing conferences should accept and publish all reasonable research paper submissions. He notes the strict limits placed on the number of accepted papers in conferences, arguing that even the best committees reject papers that could benefit the community. He believes that computing conferences should enforce standards for publication quality, but the standards are too strict. The author further argues that the research papers will ultimately be judged by accepted bibiliometrics such as citation counts and by their impact on the computing field and on the industry.
