Abstract

In this article we examine computer science in general, and theory and distributed computing in particular. We present a map of the computer science conferences, speculating about the center of computer science. In addition we present some trends and developments. Finally we revisit centrality, wondering about the central actors in computer science. This article is a printed version of a frivolous PODC 2007 business meeting talk, held by the second author. In an attempt to address a broader audience we have extended the content by data about theory conferences and computer science in general. Still, the character of the information remains the same, meaning our investigations should not be taken too seriously.
