SUMMARY:Third Symposium for the History and Philos
 ophy of Programming (HaPoP 2016), Paris, France
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160625
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160625
LOCATION:Paris, France
DESCRIPTION:One major challenge throughout the his
 tory of programming is the development of an inter
 face between humans, software and hardware. It has
  been the task of the so-called operating system t
 o: maintain a file system; regulate access to reso
 urces; synchronize operations; etc. Today, Operati
 ng Systems are usually equipped with Graphical Use
 r interfaces (GUI) designed to give the 'user' a '
 friendly' experience thus hiding – and sometimes
  even rendering inaccessible – much of the under
 lying structure and features of the computing mach
 inery. The aim of the current symposium is to offe
 r an opportunity for historical and philosophical 
 reflection on operating systems and the programs t
 hey coordinate.    Our approach is interdisciplina
 rity and openness towards different fields relevan
 t to HaPoC. We were and are strongly convinced tha
 t such trans- and interdisciplinarity is necessary
  if one wants to reflect on a discipline such as c
 omputer science with its multidimensional nature. 
 The current symposium will be organized in a simil
 ar manner and invites researchers coming from a di
 versity of backgrounds, including historians, phil
 osophers, logicians and computer scientists who wa
 nt to engage with topics relevant to the history a
 nd philosophy of programming and more specifically
  that of operating systems.   For more information
 , see http://hapoc.org/hapop3   The Programme Comm
 ittee cordially invites researchers working in a f
 ield relevant to the main topics of the symposium 
 to submit an abstract. Abstract should be submitte
 d at the latest by (extended deadline) April 14, 2
 016.

      One major challenge throughout the history of
  programming is the development of an interface be
 tween humans, software and hardware. It has been t
 he task of the so-called operating system to: main
 tain a file system; regulate access to resources; 
 synchronize operations; etc. Today, Operating Syst
 ems are usually equipped with Graphical User inter
 faces (GUI) designed to give the 'user' a 'friendl
 y' experience thus hiding – and sometimes even r
 endering inaccessible – much of the underlying s
 tructure and features of the computing machinery. 
 The aim of the current symposium is to offer an op
 portunity for historical and philosophical reflect
 ion on operating systems and the programs they coo
 rdinate.\n      </p>\n      <p>\n         Our appr
 oach is interdisciplinarity and openness towards d

 luding historians, philosophers, logicians and com
