We invite scholars to present their research on subjects that explore computers and computing from historical perspectives within the framework of the congress theme “Peoples, Places, Exchanges, and Circulation”. Computers have always been on the move between disciplines, nations, communities, cultures, and social spheres. With each move they adapt to the milieu, and the milieu adapts to them. The symposium focuses on all forms of computers in motion, from the most abstract to the most material, from global to locally situated.</span></p><br><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
