== History ==

CCC was first organized in 1986 under the name "Structure in Complexity Theory Conference" (Structures) with support from the US National Science Foundation.<ref name="CCCgeneral" /> The conference was sponsored by the [http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tcmf IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Computing] from 1987-2014. In 1996, the conference was renamed the "Annual IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity", hence establishing the current acronym "CCC". In 2014, a [http://computationalcomplexity.org/letter-of-support.php movement] towards independence and open access proceedings led to the establishment of the Computational Complexity Foundation (CCF) .<ref name="CCF">[http://computationalcomplexity.org/foundation/ Computational Complexity Foundation (CCF)]</ref>. Since 2015, CCF organizes the conference independently under the name Computational Complexity Conference (CCC), and publishes open access proceedings via LIPIcs.<ref name="LIPIcs" >[http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs)]</ref> Future and past conference websites, as well as past programs and call for papers, are archived [http://computationalcomplexity.org/conferences.php online].
