ccf-deadlines

CCF-Deadlines is a collaborative project that helps researchers track submission deadlines for academic conferences worldwide, so they no longer need to hunt down dates and convert timezones on their own. Conference data is maintained as community-contributed YAML files and surfaced through multiple access channels. Access channels: - Website portal (ccfddl.github.io): the main site for browsing deadlines. - Tabular portal (ccfddl.top): an alternative table view. - WeChat applet: mobile access via QR code. Extensions and integrations: - Python CLI tool for querying deadlines from the terminal. - Raycast extension and SwiftBar plugin for desktop launchers/menubar access. - iCal subscription to pull deadlines into calendar apps. - Chrome extension and a separate TUI application. Data model: each conference is described in a YAML file (e.g., conference/DB/sigmod.yml) with required fields including title, description, sub (the CCF category), rank, dblp identifier, and a confs list per year. Each conference year entry carries a link, a timeline of deadlines (optional abstract deadline, required deadline in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format or TBD, optional comment), a timezone (supporting UTC-12 through UTC+12, AoE, and PT with automatic daylight-saving adjustment), the main conference date, and place. Rankings can be recorded from three systems: CCF (A/B/C/N), CORE (A*/A/B/C/N), and TH-CPL (A/B/N). Conferences are categorized into CCF areas such as computer architecture (DS), networks (NW), security (SC), software engineering (SE), databases/data mining (DB), theory (CT), graphics (CG), AI, human-computer interaction (HI), and interdisciplinary topics (MX). Contributions are welcomed: users fork the repository, add or update the relevant YAML file, and submit a pull request. The project suggests consulting the CCF recommended conference list when adding entries. The repository is maintained by the ccfddl collaboration and includes CI deployment workflows plus license/FOSSA status badges.
