Call for Papers

he 2024 ACM SIGPLAN International Symposium on New Ideas, New Paradigms, and Reflections on Programming and Software (Onward! 2024), the premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software, including processes, methods, languages, communities and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research.

Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a detailed evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, providing invaluable insights for researchers, institutions, and decision-makers. The ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a recognized authority in science research across all major academic disciplines. Since its establishment in 2014, Research.com has been dedicated to delivering trusted and reliable data on scientific contributions, establishing itself as a leading resource within the academic community.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a distinctive bibliometric score, innovatively developed by Research.com. This score integrates multiple critical metrics, specifically the estimated h-index of scientific output and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference during the three most recent years. The Impact Score values included were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that this ranking reflects the most up-to-date and robust analysis available.

The ranking process entailed a rigorous selection and examination of over 2,742 conferences, each scrutinized in depth through an analytical review of 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. These publications were contributed by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists specializing in Computer Science. Such an extensive evaluation underscores the thoroughness and methodological rigor employed throughout the project, ensuring both credibility and relevance for the academic community.

For a detailed explanation of the methods and criteria used in calculating the ranking scores, please refer to 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 SIGPLAN symposium on New ideas, new paradigms, and reflections on programming and software (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Daniel Jackson (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Robert Hirschfeld (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Shriram Krishnamurthi (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jonathan Aldrich (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Eelco Visser (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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at SIGPLAN symposium on New ideas, new paradigms, and reflections on programming and software (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Carnegie Mellon University (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • IBM (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Cambridge (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Microsoft (7 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, 27.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 54.55% 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.
