Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously compiled by Research.com—one of the leading platforms providing trusted data on scientific research contributions across all major disciplines since 2014. The positions in this ranking are determined by a distinctive bibliometric score developed by Research.com, which integrates an estimated h-index for each conference along with the number of distinguished scientists who have participated in those conferences over the past three years.

The Impact Score values utilized in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the analysis reflects the most current and authoritative data. The ranking process encompassed a systematic review of more than 2,742 conferences, carefully selected following exhaustive inspection and thorough examination of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the last three years by 13,184 leading and respected scientists in the area of Computer Science.

This rigorous methodological approach, supported by expert analysis and robust bibliometric indicators, reinforces the credibility and reliability of the ranking results. For further information on the methodology employed in computing the ranking scores, please refer to 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 Real-Time Networks and Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Robert I. Davis (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sanjoy Baruah (15 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • James H. Anderson (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Iain Bate (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Eduardo Tovar (10 papers) published 1 paper 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 Real-Time Networks and Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of York (34 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (19 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies (12 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Washington University in St. Louis (11 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Polytechnic Institute of Porto (10 papers) published 2 papers 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 2021 edition, 9.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 5.00% 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.
