We are happy to announce that the 2nd International Conference on the
History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC 2013) will take place from
the 28th to the 31st of October 2013 at the Ecole Normale Superieure in
Paris (France).
The birth of the computing and its sciences has often been the topic of
philosophical and historical reflection. The HaPoC-conferences have
decided to bring together the historical and the philosophical
viewpoints. They want to create an environment for a true
interdisciplinary convergence around computer science, reenforcing
research on the science(s) of computing and its history and stimulating
a theoretical dialogue between these domains. To furter this dialogue
HaPoC has chosen to have no parallel sessions.
Our invited speakers are: Janet Abbate; Bernard Chazelle (tbc); Walter
Dean; Nathan Ensmenger; Jean-Yves Girard; Barbara Liskov (tbc); Margit
Rosen and Franck Varenne. HaPoC 2013 is the follow-up conference to
HaPoC 2011 (Gent, Belgium).
Please check out the website of HaPoC 2013 for more information on the
conference:
