Dear TC6 colleagues,
I've collected some information on Citeseer
regarding the impact of our TC6 events.
Please find these results below. It's
always useful to know how our events are ranked with respect to
others. This could be part of an agenda item on statistics of TC6
events in Athens and also in relation with publishers.
Note that these data have been computed in
May 2003, which means that only events organized until 2002 had a
chance to have an impact. So, recent events are not well ranked, which
is normal.
Note also that with citeseer only papers
available electronically are considered. So, a first step in reaction
to this would be that all individuals publishing in our conferences
put all their papers on their web pages and send their URLs to
citeseer for reference. Unfortunately this is not always allowed by
the publishers, but note that IEEE and ACM allow this. And I remember
that Kluwer had accepted too for events where some authors would have
otherwise refused to sign the copyright transfer form.
A last comment in that only conferences
referenced in the DBLP database are taken into account. And some TC6
conferences are not there. Some reaction is needed. Perhaps each WG
chairperson could do the necessary steps to register them as IFIP
events: check

Best regards,

Estimated impact of publication venues in
Computer Science
(higher is better) - May 2003 (CiteSeer)
Generated from documents in the CiteSeer </cs> database. This
analysis
does not include citations where one or more authors of the citing
and
cited articles match. This list is automatically generated and may
contain errors. Only venues with at least 25 articles are shown.
Impact is estimated using the average citation rate, where citations
are
normalized using the average citation rate for all articles in a
given
year, and transformed using ln (n+1) where n is the number of
citations.
Publication details obtained from DBLP <http://dblp.uni-trier.de/>
by
Michael Ley <http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/>. Only
venues
contained in DBLP are included.
In the list below, IFIP TC6 conferences are in bold, some
others are included

merged, their combined impact
(taking
account of logarithmic scales) would be
