IEEE SCC 2026 — IEEE International Conference on Software Services Engineering / Services Computing at IEEE SERVICES 2026 (SCC)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in science research spanning all major disciplines—including Computer Science—and a trusted provider of scientific contribution data since 2014, this ranking reflects an ambitious effort to assess and benchmark the most prominent conferences in the discipline.

Conference positions in this ranking are determined by a proprietary bibliometric score uniquely formulated by Research.com. This score integrates estimated h-index measures with the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference during the preceding three years, offering a multi-faceted and rigorous approach to evaluating conference influence and standing.

The ranking includes Impact Score values gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data reflects the most recent trends and contributions. The ranking process entailed a thorough review of more than 2,742 conferences, each carefully selected following detailed inspection and critical analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the last three years. These publications represent the work of 13,184 leading and respected scientists in the domain of Computer Science.

For readers interested in a deeper understanding of the methodology and metrics utilized in constructing these rankings, comprehensive details 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 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (based on the number of publications) are:

• Jia Zhang (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Chi-Hung Chi (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Junliang Chen (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Raymond K. Wong (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Shiyong Lu (18 papers) published 2 papers 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 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (based on the number of publications) are:

• IBM (281 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (43 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Shanghai Jiao Tong University (39 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Zhejiang University (31 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• Swinburne University of Technology (31 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as 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 2020 edition, 1.49% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.24% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 22.73% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.18% of all publications and 34.85% 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.
