Re: Is science on sale this week?

conferences are important on their own. for instance, right now the
ISWC is an important conference regardless of the publisher of the
proceedings. if I wanted to get the 2012 proceedings I may have to pay
(http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/book/978-3-642-35172-3). do
publishers pay the ISWC organizers for the right to publish the
proceedings? I mean, as things are now the ISWC brings people to
springer, not the other way around.
