20th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)

This comprehensive ranking features scientific conferences within the domain of Engineering and Technology, meticulously curated to provide an authoritative assessment of the most impactful conferences in the field. The ranking was developed by Research.com, a leading online resource recognized for delivering trusted data on scientific research and contributions across all major disciplines since 2014, including extensive coverage of Engineering and Technology.

Each conference’s position in this ranking is determined through a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com. This score is calculated by integrating the estimated h-index of the conference with the number of leading scientists who have presented at the conference during the past three years. The Impact Score values presented were gathered on 2024-11-27, reflecting the most recent and relevant data available.

The ranking process encompassed a rigorous evaluation of more than 2,262 conferences. These conferences were selected after a detailed inspection and thorough analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published over the previous three years by 9,385 preeminent and respected scientists in the Engineering and Technology arena. The extensive scope and depth of this review highlight the level of expertise and diligence applied to ensure the reliability and significance of the ranking outcomes.

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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad-Hoc and Wireless Networks (based on the number of publications) are:

• Eitan Altman (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Jianwei Huang (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Merouane Debbah (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,

• Rahul Vaze (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad-Hoc and Wireless Networks (based on the number of publications) are:

• French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (42 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Ohio State University (30 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
• Bell Labs (27 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Maryland, College Park (27 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• The Chinese University of Hong Kong (23 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous 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 2019 edition, 1.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 7.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.78% of all publications and 33.33% 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.
