CFP for the Closing Conference of WARCnet — Web ARChive studies network
researching web domains and events

Since the beginning of 2020 the WARCnet international network has studied the
history of (trans)national web domains and of transnational events on the web,
drawing on the increasingly important digital cultural heritage held in national
web archives, and beyond.

The WARCnet network will have its closing conference 17-18 October 2022 in
Aarhus, Denmark, in the days leading up to the ECREA conference, also to take
place in Aarhus. The closing conference is open for submissions from
researchers, web archivists, IT-developers, and practitioners from inside and
outside the network who can contribute to the field of study of WARCnet.

Proposals for individual papers and panels can be submitted until 4 March 2022.

        Subject: 2nd call for abstracts HaPoP-5, 13 june 2022, Lille, France

Dear all,

I am happy to send you the second call for abstracts of HAPOP-5 which is
currently planned as a hybrid event in Lille (France) on June 13 2022
and to be co-located with the final PROGRAMme event.

I also add that we will have some grants for young scholars and scholars
who do not have access to institutional support -- details for those
will be published later. If you would have any further questions please
do not hesitate to contact me or my co-chair Tomas Petricek,

with best wishes,
Liesbeth De Mol

Second call for Abstracts
========================

HaPoP 2022
/Fifth Symposium on the History and Philosophy of Programming (hybrid)/

13 June 2022, Lille, France

Maison Européenne des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société
website: https://www.shift-society.org/hapop5/

Co-located with the final conference of the ANR-funded PROGRAMme
project, 14-15 June 2022 (more details to follow soon).

In a society where computers have become ubiquitous, it is necessary to
develop a deeper understanding of the nature of computer programs, not
just from the technical viewpoint, but from a broader historical and
philosophical perspective. A historical awareness of the evolution of
programming not only helps to clarify the complex structure of
computing, but it also provides an insight in what programming was, is
and could be in the future. Philosophy, on the other hand, helps to
tackle fundamental questions about the nature of programs, programming
languages and programming as a discipline.

HaPoP 2022 is the fifth edition of the Symposium on the History and
Philosophy of Programming, organised by HaPoC, Commission on the History
and Philosophy of Computing (www.hapoc.org) as a hybrid event. As in the
previous editions, we are convinced that an interdisciplinary approach
is necessary for understanding programming with its multifaceted nature.
As such, we welcome participation by researchers and practitioners
coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians,
philosophers, artists, computer scientists and professional software
developers.

WHAT IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM?

This edition of the symposium will be co-located with the final
conference of the ANR-funded PROGRAMme project which poses the basic
question “What is a computer program?” This seemingly simple question
has no simple answer today, but the responses one gives to it affect
very real problems: who is responsible if a given piece of software
fails; whether a program is correct or not; or whether copyright or
patent law applies to programs. The project is anchored in the
conviction that a new kind of foundational research is needed. The broad
range of scientific and societal problems related to computing cannot be
addressed by any single discipline.

The question “What is a program?”, is a call for deeper critical
thinking about the nature of programs that is both foundational, in the
sense that it goes beyond specific problems, but also accessible, in the
sense that it should be open to anyone who is willing to make an effort
in understanding this basic technique from a broader horizon.

In order to initiate new collaborations that critically reflect on the
nature of programs and engage a broader community with the above issues,
HaPoP 2022 is particularly looking for talk proposals that relate to the
question “What is a computer program?” and offer a novel reflection from
a variety of perspectives, including historical, practice-based,
philosophical, logical, etc.

SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST FOR THE SYMPOSIUM
Possible and in no way exclusive questions of relevance to this
symposium are:

- What is a computer program?
- Are we getting better at writing programs that solve the given problem?
Is programming a specialist discipline, or will everyone in the future
be a programmer?
- What are the different scientific paradigms and research programmes
developed through the history of computer programming?
- What is a correct program?
- Is a program a text?
- Is it possible to eliminate errors from computer programs?
- How did the notion of a program change throughout the history?
- How are programs and abstractions born, used and understood?
- What was and is the relationship between hardware and software
developments?
- How did theoretical computer science (lambda-calculus, logics,
category theory) influence the development of programming languages and
vice versa?
- What are the novel and most interesting approaches to the design of
programs?
- What is the nature of the relationship between algorithms and programs?
- What legal and socio-economical issues are involved in the creation,
patenting and free-distribution of programs?
- How do we understand the multi-faceted nature of programs combining
syntax, semantics and physical implementation?
- How is programming to be taught?
