Call for open research on the theme of “the historical evolution of the uses of computation, 1950-2015” in light of the IDF editorial initiative regarding Situated Computing.
We invite all interested parties as well as the members of the Interaction Design Foundation (IDF) to contribute in building a body of shared knowledge focusing on how uses and users co-evolved over time together with the tools that enabled computational services and technology-mediated interaction in organizational and social settings. We invite you to contribute by sharing references to high quality research contributions, by both historians of science/technology who have focused on the human and social dimensions of technology evolution (e.g., Michael Mahoney, Paul Ceruzzi, Janet Abbate), and by computer scientists with a strong interest in the history of computational technology (e.g., Anker Helms Jørgensen, Brad A. Myers, Thomas Haigh, Martin Campbell-Kelly, William Aspray and many others).… read more. “Call: Open research on the theme of “the historical evolution of the uses of computation, 1950-2015””
