25th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC 2022) (WPMC)

This page presents the authoritative ranking of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, curated by Research.com—a leading platform for science research that has reliably tracked and analyzed scholarly contributions across all major fields, including Computer Science, since 2014.

The ranking utilizes a unique bibliometric score designed by Research.com. This score is formulated based on the estimated h-index as well as the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the last three years. Such an approach ensures a comprehensive evaluation of the conferences’ scientific impact and influence.

The ranking incorporates up-to-date Impact Score values, with the most recent data collected on 2024-11-27. The rigorous ranking process began with the meticulous examination of more than 2,742 conferences, each subjected to an in-depth evaluation. The assessment was grounded in robust analysis of 148,739 scientific documents produced within the preceding three years by 13,184 of the domain’s most respected and established scientists.

The resultant ranking stands as a testament to the depth of research and the advanced analytical expertise applied throughout the selection and scoring process. Readers seeking an in-depth overview of the underlying methodology for computing these ranking scores are encouraged to consult 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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

• Ramjee Prasad (36 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
• Fumihide Kojima (25 papers) published 11 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Hiroshi Harada (20 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Takeshi Matsumura (19 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
• Neeli R. Prasad (18 papers) absent 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

• Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (151 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 11 less than at the previous edition,
• National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (52 papers) published 11 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Aalborg University (37 papers) absent at the last edition,
• NTT DoCoMo (23 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
• Tohoku University (22 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more 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 2018 edition, 4.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 12.75% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.65% of all publications and 34.31% 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.
