WSDM 2013 - 6th International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM 2012)

WSDM (pronounced "wisdom") is one of the premier conferences covering research in the areas of search and data mining on the Web. The Sixth ACM WSDM Conference will take place in Rome, Italy during February 6-8, 2013.
