Call for Papers

Approximation and online algorithms are fundamental tools to deal with computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is gradually disclosed over time. Both kinds of problems arise from a large number of applications in a variety of fields. The workshop focuses on the design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms. It also covers experimental methods used to design and analyze efficient approximation and online algorithms. It is colocated with ALGO 2022, which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS and ATMOS. ALGO 2022 will take place September 5-9, 2022 in Potsdam, Germany.

Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Mathematics. Developed by Research.com, a recognized leader in providing reliable data on scientific research contributions since 2014, the ranking reflects rigorous analysis and an expert-driven approach to evaluating academic events across all major scientific disciplines, including Mathematics.

The ranking’s positions are determined using a unique bibliometric score meticulously created by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index and the number of prominent scientists who have participated in each conference over the three most recent years. Such an approach ensures an objective and data-driven assessment of conferences, emphasizing both scientific impact and expert engagement.

Impact Score values within the ranking are based on the most recent data gathered on 2024-11-27, providing a timely and accurate reflection of current scientific trends and contributions. The ranking process encompassed a thorough examination of more than 913 conferences, all carefully selected following a detailed and rigorous inspection. Over 487 scientific documents published in the past three years were analyzed, representing the scholarly output of 3,535 leading and well-respected scientists in the area of Mathematics.

This methodology highlights the depth and complexity of the research and analytical processes undertaken by the experts at Research.com, guaranteeing that only those conferences with the most significant scientific value are featured.

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 Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jiří Sgall (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kirk Pruhs (4 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Klaus Jansen (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Joachim Spoerhase (3 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Gerhard J. Woeginger (3 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Technical University of Berlin (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Wrocław (8 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Tel Aviv University (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Max Planck Society (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • ETH Zurich (7 papers) published 3 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 2018 edition, 4.35% 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 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.73% of all publications and 9.09% 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.
