Goals
Conference papers are important to computer scientists. Research evaluation is important to Universities and policy makers. This initiative is sponsored by GII (Group of Italian Professors of Computer Engineering), GRIN (Group of Italian Professors of Computer Science), and SCIE (Spanish Computer-Science Society). The goal of this initiative is to develop a unified rating of computer science conferences. The process is organized in two stages.
- Stage 1: a joint committee of GII, GRIN and SCIE members generates the rating by using an automatic algorithm based on well-known, existing international classifications. This automatically-generated rating is updated periodically, usually every two years. Please use the menu above to navigate the previous editions of the rating.
- Stage 2: each of the three societies (GII, GRIN and SCIE) may independently submit the automatically-generated rating to the respective communities, in order to revised and correct it.
This site reports the result of Stage 1 of the process.

Disclaimer
We realize that using bibliometric indicators may introduce distortions in the evaluation of scientific papers. We also know that the source rankings may have flaws and contain errors. It is therefore unavoidable that the unified rating that we publish in turn contains errors or omissions. Our goal was to limit these errors to the minimum, by leveraging all of the indicators that were available at the sources, and by combining them in such a way to reduce distortions. We expect that in the majority of cases our algorithm classifies conferences in a way that reflecs quite closely the consideration of that conference within the international scientific community. There might be cases in which this is not true, and these may be handled in Stage 2 using public feedback from the community.
