The DHST commission for the history and philosophy of computing (<a
href="http://www.hapoc.org/" class="">www.hapoc.org</a>) is happy
to announce the third HAPOC conference. The series aims at creating
an interdisciplinary focus on computing, stimulating a dialogue
between the historical and philosophical viewpoints. To this end,
the conference hopes to bring together researchers interested in the
historical developments of computing, as well as those reflecting on
the sociological and philosophical issues springing from the rise
and ubiquity of computing machines in the contemporary landscape. In
the past editions, the conference has successfully presented a
variety of voices, contributing to the creation of a fruitful
dialogue between researchers with different backgrounds and
sensibilities.<br class="">
<br class="">
For HaPoC 2015 we welcome contributions from historians and
philosophers of computing as well as from philosophically aware
computer scientists and mathematicians. Topics include but are not
limited to<br class="">
• History and Philosophy of Computation (interpretation of the
Church-Turing thesis; models of computation; logical/mathematical
foundations of computer science; information theory...)<br class="">
• History and Philosophy of Programming (classes of programming
languages; philosophical status of programming...)<br class="">
• History and Philosophy of the Computer (from calculating machines
to the future of the computer; user interfaces; abstract
architectures...)<br class="">
• History and Epistemology of the use of Computing in the sciences
(simulation vs. modelisation; computer-assisted proofs;
linguistics...)<br class="">
• Computing and the Arts: historical and conceptual issues
(temporality in digital art; narration in interactive art work...)<br
class="">
• Social, ethical and pedagogical aspects of Computing (pedagogy of
computer science; algorithms and copyright; internet, culture,
society...)<br class="">
<br class="">
Our invited speakers are Nicola Angius (Università di Sassari, IT),
Lenore Blum (Carnagie Mellon University, USA), David Allan Grier
(IEEE & George Washington University, USA), Furio Honsell
(Università di Udine, IT), Pierre Mounier-Kuhn (CNRS &

The 2015 conference is located in Pisa, the cradle of Italian
computer science: here the first Italian computers were designed
in the mid-Fifties and the first Master course in informatics was
established in 1969. The Museum of Computing Machinery, part of
the University of Pisa, shows some artefacts from the early days
of Italian CS, as well a selection of personal computing machines.
Besides its artistic attractions, among them the world-famous
leaning tower, during the days of the conference Pisa will host
the Internet Festival, devoted to all the aspects of the net (<a
href="http://www.internetfestival.it/" class="">www.internetfestival.it</a>).</div>
