Associated Events:
Latin American Master’s Thesis Competition (CLTM) – Submitted theses must have been defended between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (strict period), be approved at the time of submission, and have been conducted at CLEI member institutions. The three best theses will be awarded, based on the evaluation by the program committee and the CLTM chairs. Thesis work is individual and, therefore, does not admit co-authorship. Co-authored abstracts will not be considered.
Latin American PhD Thesis Competition (CLTD) – Submitted theses must have been defended between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025 (strict period), be approved at the time of submission, and have been conducted at CLEI member institutions. The three best theses will be awarded, based on the evaluation by the program committee and the CLTD chairs. Thesis work is individual and, therefore, does not admit co-authorship. Co-authored abstracts will not be considered.
Congress of Latin American Women in Computing (LAWCC) – The main objective of LAWCC is to highlight the research, interests, and achievements of women in various computing fields, with the intention of encouraging more women’s active participation in the technology sector. The presented papers aim to showcase the challenges that women face in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), teaching, and in the labor and research fields. Papers should address recurring gender-related issues and their interaction with society in this context.
Latin American Workshop on Quantum Software Engineering (TLISC) – As quantum computing evolves and becomes applicable, the need for systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance of quantum software (and the classical software it integrates with) grows. Much of what we have learned from decades of research, innovation, and development in Software Engineering is applicable to this new quantum-classical hybrid reality. However, this new context presents questions, challenges, and opportunities; identifying, characterizing, and addressing them is the focus of Quantum Software Engineering. This workshop aims to be a discussion forum, with special interest in mobilizing the Latin American community, on how to produce quantum software considering the lessons learned from classical software engineering, showcasing novel approaches.
Latin American School of Informatics (ELI) – The Latin American School of Informatics provides courses of interest to undergraduate, graduate students, and professionals using hybrid platforms. The course proposal process within ELI is similar to paper submission at the conference, meaning they are evaluated by an academic committee that will select a set of courses for the 2025 edition. ELI’s planned topics cover all areas of computer science and engineering.
Latin American Symposium on Dependable and Secure Computing (LADC) – This symposium is the main event on system dependability and secure computing in Latin America. Now in its 14th edition, it is promoted by the Special Committee on Fault-Tolerant Systems (CE-TF) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). It will feature technical sessions, workshops, tutorials, fast abstracts, keynote talks by international experts in the field, and an industrial segment. The symposium covers recent research on software and system dependability. For more information, visit the LADC website: https://ladc.sbc.org.br/2025
Parallel Events
Chilean Conference on Computing (JCC 2025) – The Chilean Conference on Computing (JCC) is the most important scientific event organized in Chile in the field of Computer Science and Informatics. This event has been held uninterruptedly since 1993, being jointly organized by the Chilean Computer Science Society and one of the Chilean universities, including Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica, Universidad de Santiago, Universidad Austral de Chile, Universidad de Concepción, Universidad de Talca, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Universidad Católica del Norte, Universidad Arturo Prat, Universidad de Tarapacá, Universidad de La Serena, Universidad San Sebastián, Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción. In this edition, JCC 2025 will take place at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV).
IEEE ChileCon 2025 – The IEEE CHILECON conference involves technical activities organized by the Chilean IEEE sections and chapters, held in Chile every two years. The conference aims to promote the advancement of theory, development, and applications in Electrical, Electronic, Computer, and Industrial Engineering, continuous education for its members and students, and cooperation and collaboration among professionals, academics, and students. Previous editions of this conference have received over 200 submissions from Chile, Latin America, and abroad, which are carefully reviewed by an international program committee. Accepted papers presented at the conference are published in IEEE Xplore and submitted to Scopus for indexing.
