Conference Partner Index: Security & Privacy
Every conference 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.

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 - mostly computer-science researchers reading in Chinese - 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 1.1 · 5,646 conferences scored
