The Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences of Warsaw University of Technology is honoured to host the 7th edition of the History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC-7) conference series from 18 to 20 October.
As a technological and scientific field, computing is constantly expanding in scope and depth, affecting all aspects of contemporary life. Our perceptions and conceptions of the field are also constantly evolving, though not always in lockstep with technological and scientific developments. HaPoC conferences are a place to develop ways of both reflecting on and thinking ahead of these developments.
Since 2011, the biennial HaPoC conferences have contributed to building an interdisciplinary environment that enables such critical thinking about computing. HaPoC aims to bring together historians, philosophers, computer scientists, social scientists, legal scholars, designers, engineers, practitioners, artists, logicians, mathematicians, each with their own experience and expertise, to participate in the collective construction of a comprehensive and forward-looking image of computing.
This year’s edition of HaPoC features keynote speakers Liesbeth de Mol (Université de Lille), Corey J. Maley (Purdue University) and Marcin Miłkowski (IFiS-PAN), as well as 28 contributed papers from a wide range of backgrounds.
