IEEE 17th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)

This comprehensive ranking presents a detailed evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in science research across all major disciplines since 2014, the ranking leverages trusted data on scientific contributions to provide an informed and objective assessment of conference quality and impact.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score, meticulously formulated by Research.com. This score is based on a combination of the estimated h-index and the total number of distinguished scientists who have participated in the conference during the past three years. The methodology for deriving these scores integrates both quantitative and qualitative attributes to ensure a balanced and credible representation of scientific significance.

The current edition of the ranking lists Impact Score values collected as of 2024-11-27. The evaluation process involved an exhaustive analysis, beginning with the selection of over 2,262 conferences. This selection was followed by an extensive review and rigorous examination of more than 26,934 scientific documents produced in the last three years by 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists within the Engineering and Technology community. Such depth of investigation reflects our unwavering commitment to accuracy, impartiality, and excellence.

For those interested in exploring the specific methodology employed in calculating the ranking’s bibliometric scores, detailed information is available on 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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• MengChu Zhou (38 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Bengt Lennartson (29 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
• Jingshan Li (28 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Xiaolan Xie (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Peter B. Luh (22 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Tsinghua University (60 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
• Chalmers University of Technology (43 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 10 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Wisconsin-Madison (35 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• General Motors (33 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
• University of California, Berkeley (31 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 3 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, 3.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 8.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.86% of all publications and 44.00% 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.
