Past SPIRE conferences

Past SPIRE conferences

SPIRE was originally established as the South American Workshop on String Processing (WSP) in Brazil. There were four WSPs held:

1993  Brazil  Belo Horizonte
1995  Chile  Valparaiso
1996  Brazil  Recife
1997  Chile  Valparaiso  (proceedings) https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt9qf4cg

In 1998 the name was changed to reflect a new emphasis on information retrieval, and the first SPIRE conference was held. Subsequent conferences were as follows:
