Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously curated by Research.com, a pioneering platform renowned for delivering trusted data and insights on scientific contributions across all major academic disciplines since 2014. The ranking seeks to provide researchers, academicians, and institutions with authoritative guidance on the most impactful conferences in the discipline.

The position of each conference within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This proprietary score incorporates both an estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference in the preceding three years, ensuring a multidimensional and robust assessment of conference quality and influence.

The Impact Score values reflected in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, guaranteeing that the data represents the most recent research activity and scholarly impact available. The construction of the ranking entailed rigorous examination and detailed inspection of over 2,742 conferences. This process included the in-depth analysis of more than 148,739 scientific documents published during the last three years by 13,184 leading and well-respected scientists in the Computer Science community.

This thorough and expert-driven evaluation underscores Research.com’s commitment to methodological excellence, transparency, and the advancement of scientific research.

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 Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Wentong Cai (29 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Christopher D. Carothers (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Richard M. Fujimoto (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Alessandro Pellegrini (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Francesco Quaglia (15 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Nanyang Technological University (35 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Georgia Institute of Technology (28 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (22 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Sapienza University of Rome (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (15 papers) absent 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 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% 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 16.67% 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.
