Call for Papers

# Technical Papers

We welcome original and unpublished research ideas, methods, techniques, empirical studies and surveys related to the management of variability. We particularly encourage the submission of research-in-progress and vision papers describing preliminary results, problem statements and open issues, especially in emerging domains where variability poses new challenges. Submissions should be up to 4 pages (+ 2 additional pages for references only) for short papers, or up to 8 pages (+ 2 additional pages for references only) for long papers. Each submission will be reviewed by 3 different reviewers following a double-anonymous review process in which the identity of authors will not be known to the program committee at any time during the process.


# Variability-in-Practice Papers

We welcome contributions from practitioners, industry, and researchers describing real-world, variability-related problems or solutions, including methodologies, tool demonstration and experience reports. Submissions should be up to 4 pages (+ 2 additional pages for references only) and will be reviewed by 3 different reviewers. The review for variability-in-practice papers will follow a single-blind review process.

Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive list of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science, rigorously evaluated to reflect their impact and prominence in the global research community. Compiled by Research.com, a leading platform for science research across all major fields and a trusted source of scientific data since 2014, this ranking leverages advanced and transparent methodologies to ensure high credibility and scholarly value.

The ranking order is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score combines the estimated h-index of the conferences with the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference over the most recent three years. Such an approach ensures that both the quality and the community involvement at each conference are accurately represented.

Impact Score values reflected in this ranking were collected on 2024-11-27. The ranking process was an extensive undertaking, involving the examination of over 2,742 conferences. This selection was made following a detailed inspection of more than 148,739 scientific documents published in the past three years by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists specializing in Computer Science. This thorough approach highlights the depth of research and the rigorous analytical processes carried out by domain experts.

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 Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Patrick Heymans (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Thomas Thüm (10 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Ina Schaefer (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Gunter Saake (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Goetz Botterweck (9 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 Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg (23 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Braunschweig University of Technology (19 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Johannes Kepler University of Linz (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Université de Namur (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Hildesheim (8 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 2018 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 17.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.65% of all publications and 23.53% 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.
