does that acronym not stand for what i think it does?
- warkdarrior 4y agoPC stands for Program Committee, the selected group of people in charge of accepting and rejecting paper submissions.
- secondcoming 4y agoProbably not, but I don't know what it actually does stand for. It's definitely not Personal Computer
- Hackbraten 4y agoThe acronym is not web-search friendly either. Been looking through this thread and search engines. Nothing helped. For example, not a single one of these [1] makes sense to me in that context. [1]: https://www.allacronyms.com/PC/university https://www.allacronyms.com/PC/university
- warkdarrior 4y agoSome times you will see the acronym TPC for Technical Program Committee. Searching for 'conference TPC' returns some relevant hits.
- xdavidliu 4y agothis is one of my pet peeves. You and dozens of other people probably spent collectively hundreds to thousands of minutes and brain cells wondering what PC stood for, while the people who originally typed "PC" instead of program committee saved maybe a fifth of a second.
- snickerbockers 4y agoIt's especially annoying because they should have known that PC was already taken as an acronym by something else far more prominent within the same domain.
