Given that the ranking is already based on top-tier conference publications in each field, isn't the author introducing their own subjectivity by excluding professors based on their current university affiliations? It seems quite easy to adjust for EE departments that are obviously prolific in CS fields (as defined by the conferences counted in those fields).

I think the problem is kind of opposite of what you are saying: why should the history or bureaucracy of each university take precedence over the publication metrics when everyone seems to agree that fields like embedded systems and computer architecture are part of "computer science"?
