IEEE International Conference on Computers, Software & Applications (COMPSAC)

This comprehensive ranking of scientific conferences focuses exclusively on the field of Computer Science, providing valuable insight for researchers, academics, and industry professionals alike. The ranking is meticulously curated by Research.com, a leading authority in scientific research data with a track record of providing trusted and accurate information on scientific contributions across all major research fields, including Computer Science, since 2014.

The placement of each conference in this ranking is determined using a unique bibliometric score developed by the experts at Research.com. This score is calculated by combining the estimated h-index of publications associated with each conference and the number of leading scientists who have presented their work at the conference during the preceding three years. This dual approach ensures an objective evaluation of both the conference’s impact on the scientific community and its ability to attract influential contributors.

Impact Score values presented in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the results reflect the most recent academic activity and achievements within the discipline. The evaluation process was rigorously conducted, involving the examination of more than 2,742 conferences. These conferences were carefully selected following an extensive review of over 148,739 scientific documents published over the last three years by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists within the domain of Computer Science.

These measures collectively highlight the depth of analysis, expert scrutiny, and complexity underlying the ranking, underscoring its credibility for anyone seeking authoritative information on conferences in the field. For a detailed explanation of the methodology employed in computing these 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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Computer Software and Applications Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

• Hongji Yang (26 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Carl K. Chang (22 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
• Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed (22 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
• Atilla Elçi (19 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Kai-Yuan Cai (19 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 Computer Software and Applications Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

• Tsinghua University (75 papers) published 13 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Peking University (57 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 9 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Tokyo (37 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Missouri University of Science and Technology (36 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Mälardalen University College (35 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 less 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, 6.48% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.88% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.90% of all publications and 49.27% 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.
