NYCE (New York Computer Science and Economics Day) Announcement

I was asked to post the following:

We are pleased to announce that NYCE 2012, the fifth annual New York
Computer Science and Economics Day, will be held in New York City on
Monday, December 3rd.

** General Information
The goal of NYCE is to bring together researchers from the larger New
York metropolitan area interested in computer science, economics,
marketing, and business. This year, our organizing theme is ``The
Economics of Big Data, Information, and Privacy.''

NYCE features both invited talks and shorter contributed talks and
posters (see below for details). This year, our invited speakers are
Alessandro Acquisti (CMU), Moshe Babaioff (Microsoft Research), Tim
Roughgarden (Stanford), Michael Schwarz (Google), and Catherine Tucker

Students are invited to present their work in the form of posters or
short (10 minute) talks on any subject of interest to the NYCE

means of monetizing the Internet. If you are interested in presenting
your work at NYCE, simply submit an abstract by Thursday, November 8th
(3 days after the STOC deadline).
