10/18-20: HiNC3 History of Nordic Computing Conference

The first and second conferences on the history of Nordic computing, organized in Trondheim (2003) and Turku (2007) respectively, were very successful and acquired a great deal of interest from ICT professionals and academics as well as from historians of technology. These conferences are therefore now to be followed by a third one, which will take place in Stockholm, October 2010. The conference will also honor the successful completion of a project on Swedish ICT history. Called “From Computing Machines to IT”, the Swedish Computer Society initiated the project with the support of the Division of History of Science and Technology at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and the National Museum of Science and Technology.

The conference is sponsored by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University, Swedish Computer Society, and Silicon Vikings. For more information see HiNC3 website. Also the organizers are calling for contributions.
