ITICSE

Welcome to ITiCSE 2019 at the University of Aberdeen! The university was founded in 1495 by Bishop Elphinstone, and is Scotland's third oldest university, as well as the fifth oldest university in the English-speaking world. This year it was acclaimed as the 'Scottish University of the Year' by the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.

east coast of the North Sea between the River Dee and the River Don, and is Scotland's third largest city. The city is known for its energy related business, and is at the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty which includes Royal Deeside, the Grampian mountains, and the Aberdeenshire coast. It is also less than 50 miles from Speyside, the heart of the Scotch malt whisky industry, and a departure point to visit the historic and prehistoric sites on the islands of Orkney and Shetland. We also have the world's busiest heliport, which annually ferries 500,000 staff to and from the oil rigs in the North Sea. This is why you'll regularly hear helicopters during your visit.

This year, an ITiCSE record of 243 papers were submitted, of which 66 were accepted, giving an acceptance rate of 27%. Of these papers, just over half had an author from the United States or Canada, while European authors were represented in about 40% of the papers. We also accepted papers with authors from Central and South America, China, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East, giving us a truly international flavour of current Computer Science Education research and practice.
