[SIGCIS-Members] CFP: reflections and new perspectives on the history of computing

[Troy Astarte]

Dear colleagues,

In 2028, IEEE Annals of the History of Computing will publish its 50th volume.  That is a time to reflect on the study of computing history: what it has achieved and what is yet to be done now and in the coming years. To mark the occasion, we will publish two special issues of essays on the historiography of computing.  Reflections On Computing History, the first, invites authors, particularly those who have already published work on computing history, to write on older and newer approaches—what the study has accomplished or on what they think it needs to do next—not solely with reference to Annals.  The issue will be guest edited by David Hemmendinger. New Perspectives On Computing History, the second, invites authors who are new to the field or who come to it as "outsiders" to look ahead and focus on what computing history has not yet addressed and on how it may need to expand or change in the future. Mar Hicks is the guest editor for this issue.

Interested authors should send 200 to 500 word abstracts to the relevant editor and those selected will be invited to submit 2000 to 4000 word essays through Author Portal later for (light-touch) peer review. For more details, including schedules and editor emails, please see the attached CFP documents. 



Best,

Dr. Troy Kaighin Astarte (they/them / nhw)
