Note for my graduate students regarding publications
Graduate students should learn how to do research -- it is not your business to write a paper where my name is shown to be an author. Publish garbage papers (conference, book, journal) only pollute your names and my name.
You paper is yours, don't put my name there if I do not have any contribution. Don't put my name in any papers you write no matter where you want to send -- unless I do have contributions AND I agree to put my name there AND I respect the conference/journal the paper is going to be sent. Otherwise, i will let you leave my group.
As long as you do good research, I do not think publication is a requirment for graduatation -- but ``Clean Record" of garbage publications is required.
Conference ranking sites:

http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/~guofei/CS_ConfRank.htm

Or use Google Search if you think above rankings are not fair enough (I am going to buy Google :-), you know )
A reasonable journal ranking of good journals can be found here: http://www.cs.iit.edu/~xli/CSJournalsRanking.htm
or use Google Search: Journal Ranking CS
If you want me to support you for the costs (which I always do for my graduate students), don't publish in XXX conferences. --I understand you may have accidently published in one or two such conferences, but please don't make the same mistake twice.
If you want me to write you a recommendation letter , don't publish in ... when you are under my supervision or don't let me know you have done so. :-)
