SUMMARY:5th International Conference on the Histor
 y and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC 2019), Bergam
 o, Italy
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191029

LOCATION:Bergamo, Italy
DESCRIPTION:Today more than ever computers have ta
 ken center stage in our lives: science, economy, p
 olitics, art, there is no single human endeavour t
 hat has been left unaffected by Information Techno
 logies. People connected to the Internet can enjoy
  an unprecedented amount of information and comput
 ing power at their disposal, but more and more neg
 ative side effects of a widespread use of computer
 s are brought to our attention: automation bias, e
 cho chambers, shortened attention spans, job displ
 acement, election hacking are just a few examples.
  The need to conduct a systematic and well-informe
 d discussion in a context ranging from theoretical
  and mathematical problems to labour and resource 
 exploitation issues is evident.  HaPoC's appeal to
  historical and philosophical reflection aims at a
 ddressing this shortcoming. We aim to bring togeth
 er researchers exploring the various aspects of co
 mputation: historians, philosophers, computer scie
 ntists, sociologists, anthropologists, designers, 
 manufacturers, practitioners, artists, logicians, 
 mathematicians, each with their own experience and
  expertise, all part of a society impacted by comp
 utation, and all necessary to the creation of a be
 tter discourse.  For HaPoC 2019, we welcome contri
 butions from scholars who intend to participate in
  the debate on the impact of computers on culture,
  science, and society from the perspective of thei
 r area of expertise, and who are open to engage in
  interdisciplinary discussions across multiple fie
 lds. Accepted papers will be presented in 30 minut
 e slots including discussion.
