International Symposium on Theory, Algorithmic Foundations, and Protocol Design for Mobile Networks and Mobile Computing (MobiHoc)

The following ranking presents a meticulously curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. This distinguished ranking has been prepared by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading platforms for authoritative and reliable information in science research across all major domains, including Engineering and Technology. Since 2014, Research.com has been dedicated to providing trusted, data-driven insights into scientific contributions worldwide.

Each conference’s position in this ranking is determined using a unique bibliometric score, developed exclusively by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index, as well as the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the previous three years. Such an approach ensures a robust, fair, and comprehensive assessment of each event's scientific impact.

The ranking comprises the most recent Impact Score values, with all data gathered as of 2024-11-27. The comprehensive evaluation process involved a thorough examination of more than 2,262 conferences. These conferences were selected following a detailed and rigorous inspection process, which entailed the analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years by a cohort of 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists in the field of Engineering and Technology.

This ranking reflects the depth of research and analytical complexity applied by expert reviewers in evaluating the scholarly value and influence of conferences in this domain. For a more detailed overview of the methodology used to compute the ranking scores, please consult 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 Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (based on the number of publications) are:

• Xinbing Wang (12 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• Jie Wu (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Ness B. Shroff (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Shaojie Tang (10 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• Eytan Modiano (8 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (based on the number of publications) are:

• Shanghai Jiao Tong University (22 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• Ohio State University (21 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Tsinghua University (18 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Princeton University (14 papers) published 1 paper 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, 2.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 17.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.38% of all publications and 33.33% 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.
