ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI)

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously prepared by Research.com—one of the foremost authorities in science research across all major academic disciplines. Since 2014, Research.com has been providing trusted, data-driven insights into scientific contributions, with a longstanding reputation for accuracy and excellence in Computer Science assessments.

The positioning of conferences within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com's research team. This score is computed by integrating the estimated h-index alongside the number of leading scientists—who have participated in these conferences in the last three years—providing a robust and multi-dimensional evaluation of conference impact and prestige.

For this edition, Impact Score values were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the most up-to-date representation of scientific influence. The process behind this ranking was thorough and exhaustive, involving the assessment of over 2,742 Computer Science conferences. These conferences were selected after a detailed and rigorous examination of more than 148,739 scientific documents, published in the preceding three years, by a cohort of 13,184 distinguished and reputable scientists in the domain.

This highly selective and data-driven approach underscores the credibility and depth of the ranking, reflecting the thoughtful analysis conducted by independent subject matter experts.

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 Tangible and Embedded Interaction (based on the number of publications) are:

• Ali Mazalek (18 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Hiroshi Ishii (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Alissa N. Antle (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Caroline Hummels (15 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Elise van den Hoven (11 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous 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 Tangible and Embedded Interaction (based on the number of publications) are:

• Eindhoven University of Technology (55 papers) published 11 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
• Georgia Institute of Technology (36 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (34 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Carnegie Mellon University (22 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
• Simon Fraser University (20 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 2017 edition, 3.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.05% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 7.62% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.71% of all publications and 27.62% 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.
