Top Software Engineering Conferences

The Software Engineering conferences we track, scored 0-100 from five published factors: recognition in CCF / ICORE / QUALIS, acceptance rate, number of editions held, community attention on Conference Partner, and how complete the public record is. 50 is the neutral baseline, not a failing grade.

Conference Partner tracks 247 conferences in this list, last refreshed 2026-10-15.

How this score is calculated

The Conference Partner Index is computed from data already on this site, with published weights. It is not a peer-review judgement and it does not replace CCF, ICORE or QUALIS - where those catalogues cover a conference, their tier is the single largest input.

  • Academic recognition (35%) — The highest tier this conference holds in CCF, ICORE or QUALIS. We reproduce those catalogues, we do not second-guess them; a conference listed in none of the three is scored at the neutral baseline, not penalised.
  • Submission selectivity (20%) — Average acceptance rate over the most recent editions for which submitted and accepted paper counts are on record.
  • Editions held (20%) — How many editions the conference has demonstrably held, from the edition number plus the span of years for which we hold records.
  • Community attention (10%) — Distinct researchers on Conference Partner who follow this conference or opened its page in the past 24 months. This measures our own community rather than global visibility, which is why we deliberately keep its weight low.
  • Public record completeness (15%) — How much of the public record is on file: official website, full call for papers, acceptance rates, best-paper records, past editions, and whether the latest edition is recent. This measures documentation, not academic quality. It is the one factor a verified organizer can raise directly, and the three biggest items - acceptance rates, past editions and best papers - are exactly the ones only the organizer can supply.

A missing factor is scored at the neutral baseline of 50 - never as zero - and lowers the confidence we publish next to the score. Read the full methodology · Algorithm version 1.2 · 5,696 conferences scored
