It is pretty well accepted these days that Gourmann's reports are
based upon weak statistics. Even the schools that score high in the
Gourmann report do not quote from it for fear of referencing
something that has no rigorous backing.
The only ranking that comes close is the one by U.S. News and World
Report. At least theirs is based upon a well-defined set of
criteria. Granted, their criteria are biased towards large
departments, since total dollars are used to measure research
funding, rather than dollars per faculty. Thus, you may wish to
increase the ranking of small departments [such as the one at Johns
Hopkins ;-)].
Anyway, here are the top 30 or so departments in Computer Science
based upon the U.S. News and World Reports latest survey:
1. Stanford
1. UC Berkeley
1. MIT
1. CMU
5. Cornell
6. U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
7. U. of Washington
8. U. of Texas, Austin
8. U of Wisconsin, Madison
10. Cal. Tech.
10. Princeton
12. UCLA
12. U. of Maryland
12. Brown U.
12. Purdue U.
16. Yale
16. U. of Michigan
18. Harvard
18. Rice
18. Columbia
18. U. Mass., Amherst
22. Georgia Tech.
22. U. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
24. U. Penn.
25. U. of Arizona
25. U. of Utah
25. Duke
25. New York Univ.
25. U. of Southern California
30. U.C., San Diego
30. U. of Virginia
30. State Univ. of New York, Stony Brook
33. Johns Hopkins

...I suppose the following excerpt from the comp.ai FAQ is a good
place to start. Apologies to the author for 'swiping' it.
Subject: [1-10] What are the top schools in AI?
The answer to this question is not intended to be a ranking and should
not be interpreted as such. There are several major problems with
ratings like the Gourman Report and the US News and World Report....

Subject: Ranking of CS Departments by Area
Date: 30 Mar 92 04:53:39 GMT
What follows is a list of rankings of the major CS departments in the
coutry (incl. Canada) by areas, including Theory, Databases, Programming
Languages, Performance, Architecture, Computer Vision and AI. (Operating
Systems, Networks, Mathematical Programming are missing. :<) This list
is suggested by the faculty members of UW-Madison's CS Dept. in those
research areas. So they are not completely objective, and UW-Madison's
CS department is more favored to an extent. :)
If you are urged to modify these ranking lists based on your particular
expertise, please feel free to do so. You are also welcome to submit a
ranking of the schools in those areas that are missing from this
posting.
Enjoy, and feel free to email me or directly post to this news group.
