The Commission for the History and Philosophy of Computing is a research intitiative dedicated to interdisciplinary investigation of computing and programming.
Our activities are structured around two central events, held in alternating years: HaPoC, a multi-day, single-track conference on the history and philosophy of computing, and HaPoP, a single-day symposium on the history and philosophy of programming.
HaPoC is an Inter-division Commission of the Division of the History of Science and Technology (DHST) and the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology (DLMPST). These constitute the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST), failing under the auspices of the International Science Council (ISC).
