IIAP was founded in 1957 (initially it was the Computer Centre of ([[National Academy of Sciences of Armenia|National Academy of Sciences of Armenia]] and [[Yerevan State University]]). IIAP was the pioneer in dissemination of fields of computer science and its applications in Armenia.
The first Director IIAP was famous mathematician [[Sergey Mergelyan]].
The main scientific directions of IIAP are [[Computer science]] and [[Applied mathematics]] in early 50s, <nowiki>[[Soviet Armenia]]</nowiki> has been a main hub of [[Soviet Union]]'s critical scientific and R&D activities in mainframe and industrial computing, software development, etc.
▲Main directions of theoretical researches in IIAP nowadays are mathematical logic, theory of algorithms, theory of automata, algebraic coding theory, artificial intellect and cognitive models, discrete mathematics, graph theory, image processing, information theory and statistics, and numerical methods.
