Dear colleagues!
We invite you to participate in SORUCOM-2026: 7th International conference on the history of computing in the Russian Federation, former Soviet Union and Council for Mutual Economic Assistance countries, which will be held on 22–25 September 2026 at P. G. Demidov Yaroslavl State University..
SORUCOM is the largest conference in Russia focused on the history of computing technology and information technologies. It is held once every three years. The first conference took place in 2006 in Petrozavodsk; subsequently they were held in Veliky Novgorod, Kazan, Zelenograd, Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod.
Over the years the conferences have featured veterans of computing, creators of the first computers and programming systems, students and colleagues of outstanding scientists — the founders of the computer industry in our country — which has made it possible to collect and preserve a large body of information covering the history of computing in the Soviet Union and in the CMEA (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) countries.
The proceedings have been published in Russian and English in the conference publications, in IEEE Proceedings, and on the website of the Virtual Computer Museum.
Working languages: Russian, English (synch translation)
