May 29, 2012 at 2:03 comment added Kaveh We are using around 25 of these but I included the other ones to make the list comprehensive. We can reduce the number but we would need to combine related tags like automata-theory and formal-languages. (I don't think it is a subarea of the other though they do have intersection. We can combine them if the general opinion leans towards that, though it might be good to get some advice from people more familiar with these area before doing that.)
May 29, 2012 at 2:01 comment added Kaveh I think you know the base (arxiv which is itself is based on ACM CCS), I don't think it matters that much at this point, this is a good starting point. It would be better to have suggested changes in separate answers. One way to improve it is to consider the undergrad CS courses and see how they fit into these areas.
May 28, 2012 at 9:18 comment added Raphael Mod What is this list based on, that is why do you think this is a good selection? Some of the proposed tags are broader than others (e.g. evolutionary-computing vs database-theory) and some even subsume others (e.g. algorithms and evolutionary-computing) so I have trouble seeing the desired level of granularity. And boy, that are many tags (40); we barely even have that many active tags!
