COMPSAC was founded in 1977 by Dr. Stephen S. Yau, and was held in Chicago, Illinois, USA until 1986. In 1987, COMPSAC moved to Tokyo, alternating locations between Japan and the U.S.,  and then began rotating from the US, Europe, and Asia in the late 1990s. Dr. Carl K. Chang took over as Standing Committee Chair in 2006. The current Standing Committee Chair is Sorel Reisman. IEEE/IPSJ International Symposium on Applications and the Internet (SAINT) was co-located with COMPSAC for a number of years until it merged fully with COMPSAC in 2013. The SAINT symposium archive is available at http://www.ipsj.or.jp/english/saint/.
