**Regarding the COVID 19 pandemic, to safeguard the health of participants, CONISOFT 2021 entire conference will take place virtually.**

The 9th. International Conference in Software Engineering Research and Innovation (CONISOFT 2021) will be held at San Diego Global Knowledge University, in San Diego, CA, USA, October 25-29, 2021. The purpose of the conference is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academy, industry, and government in order to advance the state of the art in Software Engineering, as well as generating synergy between academy and industry, defining a collaboration strategy to support and promote the development of the software industry in Mexico and worldwide. Papers that combine theory and practice are especially welcome.
