Accepted manuscripts for all submission categories will be published in the ACM digital library. All submissions must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings template on this page: http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html

Among the various ACM paper templates, make sure that you use the “SigConf” version, i.e., use “sample-sigconf.tex” if you use LaTeX, and “ACM_SigConf.docx” if you use MS Word for preparing your manuscript. In addition, make sure that you use the 2012 ACM Computing Classification System (CCS) at https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm to choose CCS Concepts for your paper. For detailed instructions, refer to the CCS 2012 page: https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm?id=0&lid=0&nav=w



Demo submissions will need to provide installation information at the conference venue, such as spatial dimension and floor plan, lighting conditions (e.g., dim lighting, IR interference, etc.), sound conditions, number of participants that can be accommodated at the same time, time to install and uninstall, etc.



The poster session is a good venue to get feedback on early-stage works that are not yet published. The submission must be in the form of a two-page abstract. Supplementary materials, such as video clips are encouraged but not mandatory. The authors must bring an A0-sized poster to be displayed during the poster sessions of the conference.



Pitch presentations are well suited for industrial products, who want to showcase their product at the conference, have it peer-reviewed and published in the proceedings.



We encourage authors to submit supporting video material in addition to the PDF submission. Authors of all accepted papers will also be invited and encouraged to submit to the demo sessions. All accepted long papers will be recommended for publication in the Springer Augmented Human Research (AHR) Journal with sufficiently newly added content and a lighter review process than for regular AHR Journal submission.

Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page provides a comprehensive assessment of conferences within the dynamic and evolving field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for offering trusted data and rigorous analysis of scientific contributions across all major disciplines since 2014, this ranking is designed to support researchers, academics, and professionals in identifying the most impactful conferences in the domain.

Each conference’s position in the ranking is determined using a unique bibliometric score, meticulously constructed by Research.com. This score integrates two key indicators: the estimated h-index of the conference and the number of leading scientists who have actively contributed to it over the preceding three years. This dual approach ensures that the ranking accurately reflects both the scientific influence and the prominence of participation at each conference.

The Impact Score values included in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the timeliness and relevance of the data. The ranking process entailed a thorough evaluation of more than 2,742 conferences. Selection was based on a detailed investigation and rigorous review of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the last three years, authored by 13,184 leading and widely respected scientists within Computer Science.

This methodologically robust process reflects the depth of research and the complexity of expert-driven analysis underlying these rankings. For a comprehensive understanding of the methodology employed in computing the ranking scores, please visit 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 Augmented Human International Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Tsutomu Terada (23 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • Masahiko Tsukamoto (20 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Masahiko Inami (16 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Hiroyuki Kajimoto (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Suranga Nanayakkara (11 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Augmented Human International Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Tokyo (36 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 4 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 2016 edition, 5.77% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 44.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 4.08% 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 36.73% 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.
