Ranking Conferences and Journals - A Down-Under perspective

As many of us I am skeptical of rankings (as long as I was not involved in making them ;-) Nevertheless sometimes they are interesting and helpful in assessing where to publish or what better not to read...

This morning we discussed where to publish some interesting work related to web technology (a follow-up of the UsaProx) and for the discussion such a list may have been helpful. 

A colleague from Munich sent me the link to an Australian conference ranking and obviously they also have ranked Journals, too. They use A+, A, B, L, and C as tiers.

•  conference ranking (alphabetical order)
  
•  conference ranking (by tier)
  
•  journal (alphabetical order)
  
•  journal (by tier)
  

... and as we always knew you cannot be wrong when publishing in Pervasive, Percom, Ubicomp, and CHI :-)
