I recently did some work on the school scheduling problem that I would like to present at a conference. I had considered both the AERA (American Educational Research Assoc'n) annual meeting, and the SODA (ACM-SIAM symposium on discrete algorithms) meetings since the results would be of interest to both groups. Is there a single conference (e.g. NECC) where I can make a single presentation that will reach researchers in both communities who are interested in the school scheduling problem? This communication problem also appears to exist in the educational databases: when I did my initial literature searches on school scheduling and timetabling, the ERIC database turned up quite a few references, but many more did not show up. The MATHSCI database contained a great number of articles on timetabling that were not present in ERIC, but it was not complete, either. -Dave Erickson
