Abstract
ACM SIGWEB sponsors and supports several conferences covering a wide range of topics. UMAP, JCDL and DocEng are three of the many sponsored conferences by ACM SIGWEB. UMAP, JCDL and DocEng are reputed conferences, being held for several years and has a large community of contributing authors and PC members. In this article, we present a study on the health of these three conferences based on several factors and metrics such as stability, openness, inbreeding, representativeness and sustainability. Studying the health of a conferences provides a reflection and historical overview in-terms of its performance which can be used by the conference community to bring improvements and ensure that the conference is meeting its desired objectives. We conduct statistical analysis and information visualization on the conference data downloaded from DBLP, ACM Digital Library web-pages and conference websites. Our analysis reveals that overall all the three conferences are showing good health indicators. We do observe variances in metrics values across conferences and within conferences across years.
