    An affiliated event of CiE 2016, Paris

    

    We are happy to announce the third Symposium for the History and
    Philosophy of Programming. This symposium follows the first
    and second
    editions which were organized in 2012 and 2014 respectively. It is
    supported by the DHST/DLMPS Commission on
      the History and Philosophy of Computing and the CNAM.

    

    One major challenge throughout the history of programming is the
    development of an interface between humans, software and hardware.
    It has been the task of the so-called operating system to: maintain
    a file system; regulate access to resources; synchronize operations;
    etc. Today, Operating Systems are usually equipped with Graphical
    User interfaces (GUI) designed to give the "user" a "friendly"
    experience thus hiding  – and sometimes even rendering inaccessible
    – much of the underlying structure and features of the computing
    machinery. In which way is this changing our relation to machines
    and what the unintended epistemic consequences are, is still to be
    assessed.

    

    The aim of the current symposium is to offer an opportunity for
    historical and philosophical reflection on operating systems and the
    programs they coordinate. Our approach is interdisciplinarity and
    openness towards different fields relevant to HaPoC. We were and are
    strongly convinced that such trans- and interdisciplinarity is
    necessary if one wants to reflect on a discipline such as computer
    science with its multidimensional nature. The current symposium will
    be organized in a similar manner and invites researchers coming from
    a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers,
    logicians and computer scientists who want to engage with topics
    relevant to the history and philosophy of programming and more
    specifically that of operating systems. 

    

    Topics of the symposium include but are not restricted to historical
    and philosophical reflections on: 

    

     •    Origin, evolution and future of OSs

     •    Design and Epistemology of User Interfaces

     •    Principles of Data Access, Control and Sharing, especially in
    relation to OSs (e.g. the Bell-La Padula model)

     •    Privacy and Security in OSs

     •    Batch processing and time sharing systems

     •    Models, problems and techniques of concurrency, parallelism
    and distributed systems

     •    Open source vs corporate software

     •    Programming paradigms and techniques (e.g. pair-programming)

    

    

    SUBMISSION DETAILS:

    

    We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the
    main topics of the symposium to submit an abstract of 500 words to:

    

    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapop3

    

    Abstracts must be written in English. Please note that the format of
    uploaded files must be .pdf or .doc.  


    In order to access the submission page, the creation of an EasyChair
    account will be required. Please notice that what is called
    “abstract” in the EasyChair “Title, Abstract and Other Information”
    section corresponds to the short abstract of this call, and what is
    called “paper” in the EasyChair “Upload Paper” section corresponds
    to the extended abstract of this call.
