DBLP FAQ: Why doesn't DBLP list the journal/conference ... ?

First answer:

Nobody has entered the information yet. To enter bibliographies is a time consuming work, our resources are very limited.

Second answer:

We have no access to the publication or a reliable source we are allowed to use.

You may help us:

You may enter the table of contents of your favourite proceedings or journal volume. If you are the editor of a journal or proceedings, you often have the information already stored on your computer. Please

• Include the bibliographic information of the volume as complete as possible (editors, title, publisher, year, isbn, ...).
• For each article list the authors, title and range of page numbers.
• Include headings / session titles from the table of contents if applicable - they make tables of contents more readable.
• Write out the given names of persons if possible. It is sometimes very hard to identify persons by their initials and last names only. The DBLP author pages only make sense if we try to be as precise as possible with person names.

The format you use is uncritical: You may enter the information in a plain text file or use BibTeX, Refer or any other readable text file based format, PDF is ok - please no .doc, .ps, .jpg ...

You may send me a CDROM with the material or a photocopy or a fax of the table of contents and title pages of the publication. Some times it may be necessary to add some information to the table of contents (first names of authors, last page numbers of papers ...). My Address:
