Founded in 2008, the department of Computer Science was at first a nested group inside the department of Mathematics to provide an advanced studies program at MSc level. It started with 10 MSc students, working in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Computational Geometry, Theory of Computation and Graph Theory in CS. The first workshop on Recommendation Systems was held by this group in 2009 in the IASBS main hall. After the second year student entrance, the policies of IASBS changed to joining this group with the IT department in a single faculty, having both Information Technology BSc and Computer Science MSc students in a row. These two departments managed the first conference on Contemporary Issues in Computer and Information Sciences (CICIS) in June 2010. The members of this young department have published many scientific papers in international journals and conference proceedings, leading in their specific fields of research.
