Dear colleagues -

We’re very happy to announce a special SIGCIS meeting on March 18-19, 2017,
hosted and sponsored by the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.
More information is below; for the full call for papers and registration
information, please visit http://meetings.sigcis.org/. And please share
widely!

The purpose of the meeting, Command Lines: Software, Power, and
Performance, is to draw together scholars from a variety of fields that
study software, including the history of computing, science and technology
studies, software studies, code studies, game studies, media studies, web
and internet history, and computer science and engineering. The meeting
hopes to explore the connections between the creation and use of software
and “power” in multiple senses, and the connection between software and
conceptions of technical and cultural “performance.”

We are delighted that the meeting will begin with two keynote speakers -
Kavita Philip of University of California, Irvine, and Tom Mullaney of
Stanford University.

The SIGCIS organizing committee now seeks proposals for short papers (15-20
min.) to present new work at the conference. We welcome work that hinges
on, links to, or reacts against the themes of the meeting. We also welcome
submissions that may not connect specifically with the themes but have
bearing on the larger project of SIGCIS--the study of computing and
sociotechnical change. We especially encourage submissions from graduate
students and early career scholars.

Deadlines and Submission Protocol
Proposals for papers are due by December 30th, 2016. Decisions will be made
by January 16th, 2017. Proposals should include:
a one-page abstract (maximum 400 words) addressing the paper's topic,
approach, sources, and relationship to existing literatures
a one-page CV
Please email your proposal to SIGCIS organizing committee by midnight
(Pacific time) on December 30th to Conference Assistant kera [dot] allen
[at] gatech [dot] edu.

​Financial Support
SIGCIS and the Museum will be able to provide partial financial support to
graduate students to present at the meeting.  Please note in your proposal
if you would like to be considered for a travel award.

Location and Logistics
The meeting events will be held at CHM at 1401 North Shoreline Boulevard,
Mountain View, CA 94043. During the event, attendees will have access to
CHM’s most recent major exhibit on software and its implications, Make
Software: Change the World!

There will be no official meeting hotel or transportation. The meeting has
a $40 registration fee, waived for graduate and undergraduate students as
well as independent scholars. Presenters and attendees may register here <

nd-performance-tickets-28775183348>. We encourage early registration, as
attendance will be limited.
