The proceedings are analyzed using knowledge based “keywords to text” mapping to discover the overall conference trends. The analysis is done on the basis of number of papers, distinct authors, participation ratio for each relevant topic, interdependence of topics in terms of shared keywords and the overall popularity of keywords. The analysis was done for each conference year as well as for the overall collection of proceedings till date. The objective of the discussed work is to provide an insight over the past six years in the SMC community that was envisioned in the roadmap.application/pdfeng© 2010 Pratyush et al.
