Call for Papers

WMNC is the IFIP and IEEE ComSoc-sponsored conference merging PWC, MWCN and WSAN on wireless and mobile networking. It invites original contributions on wireless networks, mobile networking, sensor and actuator networks, 5G/6G, IoT, vehicular networks, network security. 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 and submitted to IEEE Xplore.

Overview

This ranking provides a comprehensive overview of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science, offering a reliable resource for academics and professionals seeking to identify the most impactful venues for scholarly dissemination. The conference ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, one of the leading platforms in science research across all major fields, including Computer Science, renowned for providing trusted data on scientific contributions since 2014.

Each conference's position in the ranking is determined according to a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated using both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have presented at the conference over the past three years, ensuring a robust and multi-faceted assessment of conference quality and influence.

The Impact Score values presented in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27. The ranking process involved a rigorous and comprehensive examination, where more than 2,742 conferences were evaluated following a detailed inspection of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the previous three years by 13,184 distinguished scientists specializing in Computer Science.

This depth of research and the complexity of the analytical methods employed underscore the credibility and reliability of the ranking, reflecting expertise and impartiality at every stage of its development. For comprehensive information regarding the criteria and methodology used to compute 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 Joint IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Andreas Timm-Giel (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Daniel Diaz-Sanchez (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Xi Li (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Luis Orozco-Barbosa (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Christos Bouras (7 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 Joint IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Bremen (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Castilla–La Mancha (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Czech Technical University in Prague (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gdańsk University of Technology (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (7 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, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 100.00% 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.
