ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WISEC)

This ranking provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com—one of the leading websites for science research across all major fields—this list leverages trusted data on scientific contributions and academic excellence provided since 2014. The primary objective of this ranking is to offer an authoritative, data-driven resource for researchers, academics, and professionals seeking insight into the most impactful conferences in the domain.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score meticulously created by Research.com. This score is calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have presented at the conference over the previous three years. By focusing on these key metrics, the ranking offers an accurate reflection of both the scientific impact and the community recognition achieved by each conference.

Impact Score values included in this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27. The evaluation process involved a thorough examination of more than 2,742 conferences, each selected through detailed inspection and rigorous analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published during the last three years. This exhaustive review was conducted by analyzing contributions from 13,184 of the most prominent and respected scientists in the area of Computer Science.

We invite you to explore this ranking as a resource reflecting the substantial depth of research and expert analysis applied to its creation.

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 Network Security (based on the number of publications) are:

• Ivan Martinovic (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Panos Papadimitratos (5 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Roberto Di Pietro (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Gene Tsudik (4 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Jens B. Schmitt (4 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 Network Security (based on the number of publications) are:

• Technische Universität Darmstadt (8 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• University of California, Irvine (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Purdue University (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
• Carnegie Mellon University (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (5 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 2017 edition, 9.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.42% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.68% of all publications and 23.68% 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.
