Spanish. El Simposio Iberoamericano en programación Informática (SIIPRIN) representa un foro de encuentro Iberoamericano de investigadores y profesionales dedicados al estudio e investigación de los distintos aspectos involucrados en la programación informática. Su propósito fundamental es fomentar el contacto, la cooperación científica y profesional en esta temática.

SIIPRIN surge de la necesidad de crear y mantener un foro de discusión entre científicos, académicos y profesionales interesados en el estudio e investigación de la programación informática en nuestra sociedad así como en la educación superior. En este simposio se facilitará un punto de encuentro para presentar, diseminar y discutir resultados de investigaciones en curso o realizadas en torno a esta temática. Como objetivo implícito, se pretende fomentar la colaboración entre los distintos interesados donde se espera incentivar el desarrollo de una base científica en este campo.

The Ibero-American Symposium on Computer Programming (SIIPRIN) represents an Ibero-American meeting forum for researchers and professionals focused on the study and research of the different aspects involved in computer programming. Its goal is to foster the dissemination of works keeping in mind academic, scientific and professional issues on this topic.

SIIPRIN arises from the need to create and maintain a discussion forum among scientists, academics and professionals interested in the study and research of computer programming in our society as well as in the academic arena. In this symposium, a meeting place is provided to present, disseminate and discuss the results of ongoing or consolidated research conducted on this topic. As an implicit objective, it is intended to foster collaboration among the different stakeholders, where we expect to encourage the development of a scientific basis in this field.
