An ongoing, annual survey of publications in systems and software engineering identifies the top 15 scholars and institutions in the field over a 5-year period. Each ranking is based on the weighted scores of the number of papers published in TSE, TOSEM, JSS, SPE, EMSE, IST, and Software of the corresponding period. This report summarizes the results for 2003-2007 and 2004-2008. The top-ranked institution is Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea for 2003-2007, and Simula Research Laboratory, Norway for 2004-2008, while Magne Jorgensen is the top-ranked scholar for both periods.
