Call for Papers

The 17th IFIP/IEEE Symposium on Integrated Network and Service Management (IM 2021) will be held on May 17-21, 2021, in Bordeaux, France. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989, IM 2021 follows the 33 years tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary IEEE Communications Society’s forum for technical exchange on management of information and communication technology focusing on research, development, integration, standards, service provisioning, and user communities.

IM 2021 will focus on the theme of “Intelligent Management of Open and Highly Programmable Networks”. It aims to capture recent results, emerging approaches and technical solutions for dealing with resilience and sustainability of network and service management in highly dynamic environments. Furthermore, the sudden and important uptake of work-from-home and the promise of the post-digital era are rising new challenges and exacerbating the dynamic nature of the communication infrastructure, pushing additional requirements on networks in terms of quality, resilience and sustainability. This is also accelerating the adoption of Artificial Intelligence advances along with the openness and programmability of network infrastructures, to make these more flexible and adaptive. In addition to this theme, IM 2021 will cover a wide range of topics of interest within the field in integrated network and service management. IM 2021 will offer five types of sessions: technical, experience, poster, panel and dissertation. High quality will be assured through a well-qualified Technical Program Committee and stringent peer review of paper submissions.

Overview

This ranking showcases the most prominent scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously curated to support researchers, institutions, and professionals in identifying leading venues for scholarly dissemination and collaboration. The ranking has been developed by Research.com, established in 2014 and recognized as one of the foremost platforms for scientific research data across all major fields, including Computer Science. Through a commitment to accuracy and reliability, Research.com has consistently provided trusted insights on scientific contributions worldwide.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a unique, proprietary bibliometric score. This score is calculated by Research.com using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to the conference over the most recent three years. The Impact Score values presented here were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the information is both current and relevant.

The methodology underpinning the ranking reflects a comprehensive and rigorous analytical process. Experts at Research.com examined over 2,742 conferences that were carefully selected following an exhaustive review of more than 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. This effort involved the scholarly output of 13,184 prominent and respected scientists in the discipline of Computer Science, highlighting the ranking’s depth and breadth.

This research-intensive approach underscores our dedication to producing a ranking that is both authoritative and comprehensive. For those interested in exploring the precise methodology used to compute these ranking scores, further 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.

The top authors publishing at Integrated Network Management (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Filip De Turck (28 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lisandro Zambenedetti Granville (26 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Luciano Paschoal Gaspary (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Aiko Pras (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jeroen Famaey (12 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Integrated Network Management (based on the number of publications) are:

  • IBM (82 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ghent University (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ericsson (34 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Hewlett-Packard (30 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (27 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 2019 edition, 0.00% 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 25.00% of all publications and 41.67% 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.
