Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive list of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously compiled by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for providing authoritative data and analysis on scientific research since 2014. As one of the foremost resources in the global research community, Research.com is widely acknowledged for its in-depth coverage and trusted data across all major scientific disciplines, including Computer Science.

The ranking order of the conferences is established using a unique bibliometric score developed by the experts at Research.com. This score is constructed through a rigorous analysis that considers both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference during the previous three years. The result is a multifaceted evaluation that prioritizes academic impact and the presence of influential contributors.

Impact Score values presented in this ranking reflect data gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring a current and relevant evaluation of conference influence within the Computer Science community. The assessment process involved a thorough review of over 2,742 conferences, each selected after an exhaustive examination of more than 148,739 scientific documents published during the last three years by a cohort of 13,184 distinguished scientists recognized for their leadership and contributions to the field.

This systematic and data-driven methodology underscores the credibility and depth of the ranking, highlighting the robust analytical framework established by seasoned experts. For those seeking a detailed explanation of the processes and calculations underlying the unique scoring approach, we encourage consultation of 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 Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Venkatesan T. Chakaravarthy (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Saket Saurabh (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Yogish Sabharwal (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mohamed Faouzi Atig (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Geevarghese Philip (5 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 Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (based on the number of publications) are:

  • IBM (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Paris Diderot University (12 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai (12 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Max Planck Society (11 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Bergen (11 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 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 2015 edition, 10.42% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.56% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 25.58% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.60% of all publications and 23.26% 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.
