Call for Papers

Nanotechnologies provide the scientific and engineering communities with unprecedented tools to not only interface with existing systems at their most fundamental level, i.e., the sub-atomic and molecular scales, but to create new paradigms that leverage physical phenomena not present at the micro- and macro-scales. Example applications range from ultra-high-performance computing systems based on massive networks on chip and quantum computing and communication architectures, to transformative healthcare systems and human-enhancement technologies that leverage synthetic biology. Enabling such applications requires interdisciplinary teams spanning the fields of material science, physics, biology, chemistry, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science.

The 9th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (ACM NanoCom 2022) builds on the eight previous editions' effort to bring together experts who are not afraid of breaking barriers and bridging gaps across disciplines, both in academia and industry. ACM NanoCom 2022 will highlight novel research results and breakthrough ideas, and identify directions for short and medium term exploitation. Novel theoretical and experimental research contributions are welcome. The conference will feature contributed and invited papers, posters and demo presentations, and keynote addresses at the forefront of this interdisciplinary field.

Overview

The conference ranking presented on this page comprehensively lists scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. This ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a leading authority in science research across all major disciplines, including Engineering and Technology. Since 2014, Research.com has been recognized for providing trusted and reliable data on academic contributions, offering unique insights into the performance and impact of scientific work worldwide.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a proprietary bibliometric score devised by Research.com. This score is calculated using a robust methodology that incorporates the estimated h-index, as well as the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the last three years. The current ranking includes Impact Score values collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data is both current and comprehensive.

The evaluation process underlying this ranking involved extensive analysis, with more than 2,262 conferences being rigorously selected and examined. This selection was made following an in-depth inspection of over 26,934 scientific documents published within the previous three years by 9,385 distinguished and influential scientists in the area of Engineering and Technology. This exhaustive process underscores the depth of research and the level of expert scrutiny that informed the final rankings.

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 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 34.29% 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.
