IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES)

The ranking presented on this page highlights the most distinguished scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. This comprehensive evaluation has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading and most trusted platforms for science research since 2014, incorporating data and analysis from all major scientific fields, including Computer Science.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This proprietary score is calculated through an advanced method that takes into account the estimated h-index, as well as the number of leading scientists who have presented at each conference during the previous three years. The Impact Score values featured here are based on data collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the relevance and currency of our analysis.

To ensure the highest level of academic rigor and credibility, our ranking process entailed a thorough review of more than 2,742 conferences. This extensive selection followed a detailed and rigorous assessment of over 148,739 scientific documents published over the past three years, involving 13,184 preeminent scientists distinguished in the sphere of Computer Science. The depth and complexity of this examination reflect the dedication of domain experts to provide the scientific community with a reliable and comprehensive resource for conference evaluation.

For a detailed explanation of the methodology and the specific bibliometric techniques applied in forming this ranking, 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 World Congress on Services (based on the number of publications) are:

• Hausi A. Müller (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Joanna Ng (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Rose F. Gamble (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Stephan Reiff-Marganiec (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Michael Smit (5 papers) absent 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 World Congress on Services (based on the number of publications) are:

• IBM (25 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Mercy College (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University of Victoria (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University of Tulsa (7 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 2017 edition, 10.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 16.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 44.44% 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.
