Dear Colleagues, Please note that there will be several tracks of interest to this group at the IFIP World Congress in Poznan, Poland in September 2018. Full papers on the theme "This Changes Everything" are due in January 2018. The working group I am affiliated with, History of Computing, will sponsor one of the themes: THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING In the history of computing, who were the important people and what were the important devices that deserve recognition as fulcrums that “changed everything”? In the development of computers as well as the study of history more generally, we also know that the more things change, the more they sometimes stay the same. What shifts in the history of computing were portrayed as changing everything but on closer analysis reveal deeper continuities? How do these lessons give us insight into future invention and innovation in computing? All papers along this theme will be considered. However, as we proposed at the New York conference last year, the following three topics might be particularly fruitful given the location: - The bomba and the collaboration between Poland and England in World War 2 - The international history of software engineering, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the NATO meeting in Garmisch, Germany that was the "first" software engineering conference - Work on the history of computing in eastern Europe more generally. A broader CFP. which includes the other tracks from TC9, follows. I hope you will considering being a part of this event and sharing the CFP among your networks. Chris Leslie ----- 13th IFIP TC9 Human Choice and Computers Conference: ”This Changes Everything” In conjunction with the World Computer Congress 17th-21st September 2018 in Poznan, Poland Conference Chairs: David Kreps, Kai Kimppa, Louise Leenen, Charles Ess <http://www.hcc13.net> This Changes Everything. Many of us likely associate this phrase with Steve Jobs’ introduction of the iPhone in 2007. But there are clearly other candidates for the ”This,” e.g., the oncoming bioinformatics redesign of species or the fourth industrial revolution of artificially intelligent robots. But ”This” is also, without question, the greatest challenge of our age: climate change. The conference invites both academics and practitioners in the field of ICTs and Society to take stock of their engagements, review their focus, and assess what and how each and every one of us might be able to contribute to the transformations needed (and already beginning) in local, regional, national and international contexts, towards becoming diverse, environmentally and socially conscious, and thriving communities. We welcome submissions that speak directly and less directly to the conference theme. “This Changes Everything” implicates both climate change and the interrelated global challenges most central to the Working Groups of TC9 and its National Society representatives, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Submissions are also welcome, not just to the General Conference Track on change, but to the other foci of the Track Themes. (For complete track descriptions, please see the extended CFP on the conference website, <http://www.hcc13.net>.) Themes: - Societal implications, effects and impacts of artificial intelligence - Track Chairs: Diane Whitehouse and Christopher Zielinski (WG9.2) - Including critical issues beyond the ICT context in codes of conduct/ethics - Track Chairs: Kai Kimppa and Penny Duquenoy (SIG9.2.2) - Our digital lives - Track Chairs: Petros Chamakiotis and Brad McKenna (WG9.5) - This changed everything - Track Chair: Christopher Leslie (WG9.7) - Gender in ICT - Track Chairs: Sisse Finken, Christina Mörtberg and Johanna Sefyrin (WG9.8) - ICT and sustainability - Track Chairs: Thomas Lennerfors and Per Fors (WG9.9) - Climate risk, cyber-security, and the dark web - Track Chair: Louise Leenen (WG9.10) - Privacy, data protection, and automation - Track Chair: Taro Komukai (Japan National Representative) - ICT and an inclusive society - Track Chairs: Hossana Twinomurinzi and Jackie Phahlamohlaka (South Africa National Representative) Submissions: Full papers are invited that address the Conference Theme, or any of the above Track Themes. All papers will be subject to double-blind review. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to revise their work in keeping with reviewers’ comments prior to formatting, and inclusion in the Programme and Proceedings. Travel, accommodation and all other details will be posted when available at http://www.hcc13.net/ Submissions will be through Springer OCS Website, with proceedings published in the AICT Springer Book series immediately prior to the conference. Important dates: - Full paper deadline: 15th January 2018 - Reviews and revisions during February, March, and April, 2018. - Final papers: 30th April, 2018. -- Christopher S.
