Call for Papers

The 17th International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science (IWCTS 2024) features a Smart Mobility track that addresses the increasing relevance of human mobility data. With the widespread use of cell phone probe data, connected automated vehicles, volunteered geographic information, and other sensing and simulation sources, there is unprecedented access to detailed mobility data. This wealth of information is being integrated into smart city frameworks and mobility management systems, driving significant advancements in intelligent transportation systems, building information management, human dynamics modeling, and urban planning. The computational intensity of managing and analyzing these large-scale datasets underscores the critical role of advanced computational and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in these developments. The recent emerging Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies, such as the Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), have created further opportunity to revolutionize the existing applications of intelligent transportation system towards more intelligent and autonomous AI agents for more optimized and efficient urban mobility management.

Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of the leading scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com—a premier platform recognized for providing trusted data on scientific contributions since 2014—the ranking leverages a unique and rigorous approach rooted in bibliometric analysis. As a leading resource across all major research domains, including Computer Science, Research.com ensures the highest standards in data quality and reliability.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by an exclusive bibliometric score, meticulously constructed using two key factors: the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished scientists who have contributed to the conference over the past three years. This dual approach ensures both the impact and the breadth of scientific participation are accurately captured.

The current edition of the ranking incorporates Impact Score values collected on 2024-11-27, ensuring that only the most recent and relevant data inform our assessments. The evaluation process entailed a comprehensive review of 2,742 conferences, each selected following an exhaustive and methodical analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. This process drew on the work of 13,184 leading and widely respected scientists in Computer Science, underscoring the depth and breadth of research contributing to these rankings.

Our commitment to analytical rigor and transparency is paramount. For a detailed overview of the methodology employed in computing the ranking scores, including an in-depth explanation of the bibliometric score construction and data selection criteria, please visit our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at International Workshop Computational Transportation Science (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Tianyu Wu (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Hai Huang (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Haoyi Xiong (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Bernhard Kilgus (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Richard Brunauer (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Workshop Computational Transportation Science (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Cardiff University (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Ruhr University Bochum (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Iowa (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Wisconsin-Madison (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Dublin City University (1 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2018 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 75.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 25.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
