Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page highlights the foremost events in the field of Computer Science, meticulously curated to assist researchers, scholars, and professionals in identifying significant venues for dissemination and collaboration. This comprehensive ranking is prepared by Research.com, a premier resource that has been providing authoritative data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines, including Computer Science, since 2014.

The ranking positions are determined using a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com. This score is based on a rigorous analysis of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference during the preceding three years. The Impact Score values reflected in this ranking have been collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring contemporaneous and accurate evaluation of each event's influence within the scientific community.

In creating this ranking, an exhaustive assessment was conducted, involving the examination of more than 2,742 conferences. These conferences were selected following a thorough review and critical appraisal of over 148,739 scientific documents published during the last three years by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists in the Computer Science domain. This nuanced process underscores the depth of research and the expert insight applied in establishing the ranking, providing a reliable and credible perspective on the value and impact of each conference.

For further information about the methodologies and analytical frameworks that underpin the ranking scores, please refer to the 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 IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • David Basin (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Andrei Sabelfeld (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Stéphanie Delaune (9 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Michael Backes (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Gilles Barthe (8 papers) published 1 paper 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 IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Microsoft (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Max Planck Society (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • ETH Zurich (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Chalmers University of Technology (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 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, 8.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 29.03% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.81% of all publications and 16.13% 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.
