<i>An affiliated event of <a

Paris</i><br>
<br>
We are happy to announce the third Symposium for the History and
Philosophy of Programming. This symposium follows the <a
href="http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop12">first</a>
and <a href="http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop2">second</a>
editions which were organized in 2012 and 2014 respectively. It is
supported by the <a href="www.hapoc.org">DHST/DLMPS Commission on
the History and Philosophy of Computing</a> and the <a
href="http://www.cnam.fr/">CNAM</a>.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Topics of the symposium include but are not restricted to
historical and philosophical reflections on: <br>
<br>
• Origin, evolution and future of OSs<br>
• Design and Epistemology of User Interfaces<br>
• Principles of Data Access, Control and Sharing, especially
in relation to OSs (e.g. the Bell-La Padula model)<br>
• Privacy and Security in OSs<br>
• Batch processing and time sharing systems<br>
• Models, problems and techniques of concurrency, parallelism
and distributed systems<br>
• Open source vs corporate software<br>
• Programming paradigms and techniques (e.g. pair-programming)<br>
<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION DETAILS:<br>
<br>
We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the
main topics of the symposium to submit an abstract of 500 words
