Abstract

During the past 17 years, UbiComp has grown into one of the most influential conferences. To further figure out how the contributors of UbiComp collaborate with each other, we first construct a collaboration network based on 765 UbiComp papers published since 1999. Afterwards, to examine the patterns of collaborations, a PCA-based time series segmentation scheme is proposed, which suggests 2009 as a break point. By applying comparative analysis, we then investigate the collaboration evolution in different periods and propose a new method to quantify the actual effect of each paper. Experimental results reveal the existence of four types of collaboration patterns and proved that, as UbiComp getting more collaborative, long-Term collaboration is more inclined to facilitate high quality achievements.
