Selective Archival Conferences (roughly 15-35% percent acceptance rate)

"In Computer Science, unlike many other fields, conference papers are rigorously reviewed, with top conferences having low acceptance rates; publications in these conferences are considered archival and comparable to journal papers" [Martha Pollack's CV, as retrieved on July 22, 2009 from www.eecs.umich.edu/~pollackm/vita.pdf]. Sample acceptance rates for full papers (unless noted otherwise) are: IJCAI 2007: 16% (papers with plenary presentation), IJCAI 2005: 18% (full papers) and 22% (posters), AAAI 2010: 27%, AAAI 2007: 27%, AAAI 2005: 18%, ICAPS 2005: 35%, AAMAS 2008: 22%, AAMAS 2007: 22%, AAMAS 2006: 23%, NIPS 2003: 28%, UAI 2005: 34%, and SODA 2006: 31%.
