There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

(May 31, 2007) - The College of Computing at Georgia Tech has been ranked 4th in the Nation for graduate programs in an article published in the June 2007 issue of Communications of the ACM. The article by Jie Ren and Richard N. Taylor, "Automatic and Versatile Publications Ranking for Research Institutions and Scholars," also ranks Georgia Tech 3rd in the nation for software engineering and lists NSF ADVANCE Professor of Computing Mary Jean Harrold as the number one software engineering scholar in the world.
The rankings framework employed by the authors uses publications data from 1995 to 2003 to rank computing graduate programs automatically and objectively. One of the most well-known rankings, the U.S. News and World Report rankinging icludes both objective indicators and subjective polls, and currently ranks the College of Computing graduate programs 11th in the nation.
Software engineering institutions and scholars were ranked based on data from 2000 to 2004 from journals and conferences that are considered to be the most prestigious in the field: ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, the International Conference on Software Engineering, and the ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering.
