Theories, models, and algorithms: context modeling and reasoning; adaptive computing; activity and emotion recognition; programming paradigms; applied machine learning; deep machine learning; federated learning; causal learning; cognitive computing; complex networks; spatio-temporal modeling techniques.

Domain-specific challenges and novel applications: urban/mobile crowdsensing & intelligence; PerCom for healthcare and well-being; cyber-physical PerCom; smart homes and virtual assistants; mixed reality; sports analytics; crime prevention; pervasive nowcasting; urban robotics; pervasive AR/VR; smart vehicles; disaster sensing and management.

Intersections of PerCom with: opportunistic networks; IoT and sensor systems; RFID systems; pervasive data science, cyber physical systems, 3D networks.

New techniques for user-level concerns: participatory and social sensing; trust, security, privacy, and ethics; user interface, interaction, and persuasion; online and offline social networking and pervasive computing.

Technological innovations: architectures, protocols, and technologies for pervasive communications; energy-harvesting, self-powered, or battery-less systems; mobile and wearable systems; smart devices and environments; positioning, navigation, timing, and tracking technologies; device-free human sensing.

Contributions can be analytical, empirical, technological, methodological, or a combination. Papers reporting strong systems engineering contributions backed by solid and appropriate evaluations are strongly encouraged. The impact of the contributions should be demonstrated in the context of pervasive computing and communications applications.

Overview

The ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive assessment of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a leading platform in science research renowned for providing reliable data on scientific contributions since 2014, this ranking serves as a trusted resource for academics, professionals, and institutions seeking authoritative insights into conference impact.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a proprietary bibliometric score uniquely created by Research.com. This robust score is derived from the estimated h-index and the number of preeminent scientists who have participated in the respective conferences over the most recent three-year period. Such an approach ensures a multifaceted evaluation of conference influence, highlighting venues that consistently attract significant scientific contributions from recognized leaders in the discipline.

Impact Score values featured in this ranking have been meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27, reflecting the most current and relevant data available. The rigorous assessment process undertaken to construct this ranking involved a detailed review and critical examination of more than 2,742 conferences. These conferences were selected following the thorough analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years, authored by a distinguished group of 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists in Computer Science.

The depth of research and the sophisticated analytical framework implemented by our expert team underscore the credibility and value of this ranking for the global scientific community. For a comprehensive explanation of the methodology employed to compute the ranking scores, please visit 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 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Paul Lukowicz (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Christine Julien (16 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Keiichi Yasumoto (15 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 5 more than at the previous edition,
  • Claudio Bettini (13 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Yutaka Arakawa (13 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 7 more 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Mannheim (31 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • IBM (28 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Osaka University (23 papers) published 13 papers at the last edition, 9 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Texas at Arlington (23 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • ETH Zurich (22 papers) published 1 paper 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 2019 edition, 4.78% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 7.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.48% of all publications and 55.23% 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.
