Proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Program Comprehension, ICPC 2017, 22-23 May 2017, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Welcome to the 25th International Conference on Program Comprehension! This silver jubilee has seen several first times for ICPC. It is for the very first time that ICPC has been organised in South America, in Argentina, in Buenos Aires. Moreover, it is also for the first time that the main track of ICPC crossed the line of 80 submissions. This year the program committee has received 83 submissions originating from 97 abstracts and co-authored by researchers from 26 countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America and Oceania. This is more than double of the 39 submissions received back in 2000.1 Finally, for the very first time in the history of ICPC we have implemented the triple-blind reviewing process: the authors do not know who is reviewing their work (single), the reviewers do not know whose work they review (double), and the reviewers do not know who the other reviewers are (triple).
