The 4th edition of the International Conference in Software Engineering Research and Innovation (CONISOFT’16) will be held in Puebla, Puebla, México on April 27-29, 2016. The aim of the conference is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to advance the state of the art in Software Engineering, as well as generate synergy between academia and industry to define an agenda for collaboration to support and promote the development of the software industry in Mexico and at the international level. Papers that combine theory and practice in Software Engineering are especially welcome. In this edition the Latin American Engineering Symposium (LASES’16) is collocated with CONISOFT’16, in order to integrate the efforts in Latin American region.
