With over 45 years of activity, the Informatics Society of Iran is considered the oldest scientific association related to computer science and engineering in the country. It has consistently been recognized by the Commission of Scientific Associations of the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology as one of Iran's most active scientific associations.[2]
Objectives
editThe main objectives of the society include the development of scientific and technical standards, the examination of the impact of computer technology on society and the environment, and assistance in the formulation of supportive and protective laws related to informatics in Iran. The society strives to improve the quality of education, encourage research activities, and facilitate exchange of ideas and collaboration among experts in this field.[3]
The Informatics Society of Iran aims to achieve its goals through the publication of newsletters, scientific journals, and specialized books. It also organizes lectures, seminars, and scientific conferences at the national and international levels, and collaborates with scientific and industrial centers to promote informatics knowledge. The society also conducts specialized training courses and helps classify informatics professions by evaluating credentials and professional experiences. The publication of two journals, "Computer Report" and "Journal of Computing Sciences," is among the other activities of this society.[4][5]
