Call for Papers

ISPD is the ACM SIGDA symposium on physical design of VLSI circuits and systems. It invites original contributions on placement and routing, floorplanning, timing closure, physical synthesis, machine learning for EDA, 3D ICs and chiplets, design for manufacturability. Submissions may take the form of full research papers, extended abstracts and poster presentations reporting theoretical, computational and experimental work, as well as industrial case studies and applications. The meeting brings together researchers, engineers, industry practitioners and students to exchange recent results and discuss emerging directions in the field. Accepted papers are published in the conference proceedings (ACM).

Overview

This comprehensive ranking showcases the leading scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, meticulously curated to support informed decisions within the academic and professional research communities. Developed by Research.com, a trusted authority in science research since 2014, this ranking reflects the organization’s commitment to providing accurate and authoritative data on scientific contributions across all major fields, including Engineering and Technology.

Positions in the ranking are determined by a distinctive bibliometric score, uniquely designed by Research.com. This score rigorously incorporates the estimated h-index and accounts for the number of renowned scientists who have contributed to or appeared at each conference during the previous three years. The Impact Score values presented in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, offering the most up-to-date and relevant assessment available.

The ranking process entailed the examination of more than 2,262 conferences, each selected following a thorough and methodical review. This extensive evaluation embedded a rigorous analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published over the last three years by 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists in the domain of Engineering and Technology. Through this robust methodology, the ranking stands as a credible and authoritative resource reflecting the true influence and significance of the listed conferences.

Further information about the nuanced methodological framework and the detailed analytics underpinning the computation of ranking scores can be explored 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 International Symposium on Physical Design (based on the number of publications) are:

  • David Z. Pan (19 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Cheng-Kok Koh (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Yao-Wen Chang (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Cliff Sze (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Evangeline F. Y. Young (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less 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 International Symposium on Physical Design (based on the number of publications) are:

  • IBM (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Synopsys (25 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Intel (23 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Texas at Austin (22 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Mentor Graphics (21 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than 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 2017 edition, 9.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 48.28% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 17.24% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.14% of all publications and 10.34% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering in the USA offers multiple pathways, especially with the rise of flexible online programs. Understanding the financial commitment is crucial; exploring electrical engineering online tuition costs can help prospective students plan their investments wisely.

For those considering alternative but related fields, an paralegal studies associate degree offers a shorter-term education with promising salary prospects. This path is ideal for students weighing technical versus legal career opportunities.

Veterans can take advantage of specialized resources and tailored programs that recognize their unique experiences. Finding an electrical engineering degree online for veterans can provide the flexibility and support needed to transition smoothly into civilian careers.

Moreover, many institutions now offer bachelor degree programs for working adults, allowing students to balance studies with professional and personal responsibilities. These accelerated programs are particularly beneficial for those eager to enter the workforce quickly without compromising education quality.
