IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously assembled by Research.com, a prominent and trusted platform delivering authoritative data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines since 2014. The ranking is founded on a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com, which integrates an estimated h-index alongside the number of leading scientists who have actively participated in each conference over the previous three years. This rigorous approach ensures the ranking reliably reflects both the academic impact and the caliber of contributors associated with each event.

All Impact Score values featured in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that users have access to the most current and relevant data. The preparation of this ranking involved an exhaustive review process, encompassing more than 2,742 Computer Science conferences. These conferences were shortlisted following a thorough and detailed examination of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. Contributions from 13,184 distinguished and widely recognized Computer Science experts formed the basis of this extensive analysis.

By leveraging a robust methodology applied by experienced researchers, this ranking affirms its credibility and authority in representing the landscape of Computer Science conferences. To foster transparency and enhance understanding of the underlying analytical processes, detailed insights into the ranking’s methodology are 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 Real Time Technology and Applications Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

• Rodolfo Pellizzoni (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Ragunathan Rajkumar (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Chenyang Lu (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Linh Thi Xuan Phan (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Kang G. Shin (15 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Real Time Technology and Applications Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of Waterloo (31 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (29 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
• Carnegie Mellon University (25 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• University of Pennsylvania (24 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• Washington University in St. Louis (23 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, 1.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.42% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.73% of all publications and 40.68% 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.
