Welcome to ITiCSE 2016 in Arequipa.
In Peru, Arequipa is called the "The independent Republic of Arequipa." Our city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its historic heritage, natural scenery and cultural sites make the city a major tourist destination. Its religious, colonial, and republican architectural styles blend European and native characteristics into a unique style. During the last years, Arequipa has been recognized as the best place to study computing programs in Peru. It is probably one of the reasons we have ITiCSE this year here!
The conference continues to be a truly international conference with 147 submissions from 35 countries on six continents (Africa - 5, Asia - 13, Europe - 36, North America - 55, Oceania - 18, and South America - 20); and that is only considering the first author. These submissions consisted of 134 papers, 3 panels, and 10 working group proposals. Additionally, there were 43 posters and the tips & techniques submissions spanning 13 countries.
All research papers were double blind reviewed by at least three reviewers, though most papers received between four and six reviews. This year 38% were selected for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. The first authors of the papers are distributed over 22 different countries on six continents.
All posters and tips & techniques submissions were also reviewed by members of the program committee. Twenty six Poster papers and nine Tips and Techniques papers were accepted, representing 12 countries.
There are seven working groups including gender equity, game development, academic integrity, teaching specific issues and internationalization. Participating in a working group is probably one of the most efficient ways to become part of the ITiCSE community. It provides participants a unique opportunity to work with people from different countries who are interested and knowledgeable in the area of the working group.
This conference will have two keynote speakers. Mehran Sahami from Stanford University, under the title "Statistical Modeling to Better Understand CS Students" will present some statistical models trying to explain specific behavior for CS students. Mats Daniels will talk about "Professional Competencies for Real? A Question about Identity!" will talk about how to meet competences for real problems.
The conference dinner will be held at the Santa Catalina Monastery. It was built in 1579 and was enlarged in the 17th century. The over 20,000-square-meter monastery was built predominantly in the Mudéjar style, and is characterized by its vividly painted walls. There are approximately 20 nuns currently living in the northern corner of the complex; the rest of the monastery is open to the public. Attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy one of two local excursions and one or two post conference tours, the first to the famous Colca Canyon and also the world famous Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.
