Academic Ranking Tool If you are looking for a reliable means to identify top computer science authors/papers/conferences/journals, check out Libra Academic Search, by MSR Asia. Check out their papers for details on their generalized PageRank-like methodology. In contrast to arbitrary rankings, such as the ones published at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/people/home/guofei/CS_ConfRank.htm and www.cs-conference-ranking.org/, Libra uses a methodology based on advanced information retrieval and keyword-based object-level ranking techniques. For Libra's computer science conference rankings, they have indexed most of Computer Science literature until 2005-2006. It is similar to citeseer's estimated impact of venues but more accurate. In addition to citations, it considers the ranking of paper authors and the ranking of publication venues. This work is related to a project by the database folks at UCSD, called ObjectRank. Their ranking is inaccurate for relatively new or otherwise insufficiently indexed venues, such as NSDI and USENIX Security (they currently have only 20-50 papers indexed). In general, good conferences have a greater or close to 5 citation to publication ratio. You will notice that some of the undoubtedly most prestigious conferences and journals (SIGCOMM, SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, ToCS, SIGGRAPH, SIGMOD, PLDI, ISCA etc) have citation ratios that are equal to or higher than 20.
