SSIAI 2020 : IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (SSIAI)

The scientific conference ranking featured on this page presents a comprehensive assessment of conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in scientific research data since 2014, this ranking leverages robust methodologies to provide a trusted evaluation of conference impact and prestige.

Positions in the ranking are determined by an exclusive bibliometric score devised by Research.com. This metric is calculated using the estimated h-index and the count of distinguished scientists who have contributed to each conference over the preceding three years, ensuring both quality and influence are given due consideration. The impacts reflected here are based on data systematically collected as of 2024-11-27.

To construct this ranking, a rigorous analysis was conducted involving the examination of over 2,742 conferences. These were selected following a detailed review of more than 148,739 scientific documents authored in the last three years by 13,184 prominent scientists specializing in Computer Science. This comprehensive approach ensures that the final list not only represents the most influential conferences but also captures the breadth and depth of scholarly contributions in the discipline.

We invite readers to gain a deeper understanding of the methodology and data sources that underpin the ranking by visiting 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 Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (based on the number of publications) are:

• Alan C. Bovik (13 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Joseph P. Havlicek (10 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Jeffrey J. Rodriguez (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Marios S. Pattichis (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Brian Nutter (6 papers) published 1 paper 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 Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of Texas at Austin (14 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• University of New Mexico (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Los Alamos National Laboratory (13 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 6 more than at the previous edition,
• University of Oklahoma (11 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Arizona (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less 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 2016 edition, 4.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 53.49% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 9.30% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.60% of all publications and 18.60% 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.
