A citation-based system to assist prize awarding

Citation analysis is performed to evaluate the impact of scientific collections (journals and conferences), publications and scholar authors. In this paper we investigate alternative methods to provide a generalized approach to rank scientific publications. We use the SCEAS system [12] as a base platform to introduce new methods that can be used for ranking scientific publications. Moreover, we tune our approach along the reasoning of the prizes `VLDB 10 Year Award' and `SIGMOD Test of Time Award', which have been awarded in the course of the top two database conferences. Our approach can be used to objectively suggest the publications and the respective authors the are more likely to be awarded in the near future at these conferences.
