        Subject: [cfp] papers for Histories of Computing in Asia workshop now being accepted

Dear Colleagues,

I hope you’ll consider submitting a paper for the Histories of Computing
in Asia workshop, which will be held in Phuket, Thailand, in September
2024. We welcome historical accounts, first-hand narratives,
historiographies, pedagogical papers, and papers about relevant museum
or archival holdings. More information is available in our full CFP:
https://ifipwg97.org/workshops/hca2024/

As can be seen from our full CFP, IFIP Working Group 9.7 is interested
in broadening the history of computing with an understanding of
international cooperation and developments in Asian countries. Asia
offers many exemplary stories about the importance of international
connectedness in computing. Many computing professionals hail from this
region, to be sure, but also some early developments like Korea’s
Cyworld presaged international phenomena. As always, adapting technology
to local conditions results in innovation and local histories provide
important caveats to universal histories. Some of this information has
been published in languages other than English, so our workshop will
also help to build a bridge between the English-speaking community with
research in other languages.

Our typical practice is to publish post-workshop proceedings. We will
review conference papers (2,500 to 5,000 words) until 1 April 2024.
Acceptances along with reviewer comments will be announced on 1 May
2024. We will circulate draft papers in advance of the workshop with the
aim of fostering a lively discussion at the workshop, which will be held
at Dusit Thani Laguna in Phuket. Authors can then revise their papers
based on comments at the workshop for consideration in the proceedings
volume, which will be published by Springer.

Working Group 9.7 has organized more than a dozen workshops that
highlight the international nature of the history of computing,
particularly with our Springer volumes on Nordic countries, Soviet and
Russian computing, and eastern Europe. Even though the workshop language
is English, most of our participants do not speak English as a first
language; we are committed to international exchange, so we encourage
all researchers to participate.
Draft papers are now being accepted. Sometime before April 1, please
submit your work via Springer's EquinOCS service:
https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/HC2024

Would you be so kind as to forward this announcement along your networks
and inform your colleagues and students who might potentially be
interested? If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
Chris Leslie
