Fwd: [LIMITS] Call for Papers: Computing within Limits (LIMITS) 2025
by Vesna Manojlovic 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [LIMITS] Call for Papers: Computing within Limits (LIMITS) 2025 Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 01:19:51 +0100 From: Jan Tobias Muehlberg <jtmuehlberg(a)gmail.com> To: limits(a)googlegroups.com CC: jan.tobias.muehlberg(a)ulb.be, Christoph Becker <christoph.becker(a)utoronto.ca> Dear friends and colleagues, The 11th Workshop on Computing within Limits (LIMITS) will take place on June 26th and 27th 2025 in the online/hybrid format we established over the last years. Please consider submitting your LIMITS research by April 25th 2025, 11:59pm AoE. Links to the submission site, participation information, and everything else you ever wanted to know about LIMITS will be available at https://computingwithinlimits.org/2025/ _Important Dates_ Paper submission deadline: April 25th, 2025, 11:59pm AoE Paper reviews available: June 3rd, 2025 Camera ready deadline: June 20th, 2025 LIMITS Workshop: June 26th-27th, 2025 _About LIMITS_ The LIMITS workshop concerns the role of computing in human societies situated in a world of limits, such as limits of extractive logics, limits to a biosphere’s ability to recover, limits to our knowledge, or limits to technological solutions to societal issues. As an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and scholars, we seek to reshape the computing research agenda, grounded by an awareness that contemporary computing research is intertwined with ecological limits in general, and climate- and climate justice-related limits in particular. LIMITS 2025 solicits submissions that move us closer towards computing that supports diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres. _Call for Papers_ We welcome scholarship by researchers, engineers, designers, and artists who are investigating and/or (re)designing computing systems in ways that engage with pressing ecological and social issues and crises. LIMITS is a place for a wide range of perspectives and approaches. We invite works that build on previous LIMITS work, such as provocations from earlier LIMITS gatherings (e.g., Unplanned Obsolescence, LIMITS 2017 or Computing as Ecocide, LIMITS 2023), that broadens the understanding of LIMITS (e.g., Age of Consequences, LIMITS 2015), that explores our own limits (e.g., Computing within Psychological Limits, LIMITS 2015), that explores strategies for working in a LIMITed world (e.g., Limits-aware computing, LIMITS 2015), or that design and/or build transitional systems (e.g., Solar-powered website, LIMITS 2021). Transitional Systems attempt to (re) design, implement, and/or evaluate a real-world or hypothetical socio-technical computing system in response to “implications for design” raised by earlier LIMITS papers or LIMITS-related scholarship in the areas of computing and sustainability, computing and climate-justice. LIMITS also strives to be a place for envisioning technologies otherwise: a place for pluriversal design, for work that considers how visions and frameworks of degrowth and post-growth affect computing, or how computing can grapple with colonialism. We also encourage authors to envision and submit research on Hypothetical Systems, i.e., speculative design work or proposals for hypothetical computing systems or artifacts (either software, hardware, or some combination) that embody LIMITS thinking. Who would use this system? Who might benefit from engaging with the system? Who might be harmed? How are the premises (conceptual or concrete) upon which the system is built different from our current computing systems? How does LIMITS-informed system design enact different worlds or ways of being in these worlds? We encourage authors to consider the stories they tell and reify through their work. As Costanza-Chock reminds us, “Stories have power”. They ask us to consider, “(…) what stories are told about design problems, solutions, contexts, and outcomes? Who gets to tell these stories? Who participates, who benefits, and who is harmed?” (Costanza-Chock 2020 p. 134). -- ~ Organise at the speed of trust. ~ https://cybersecurity.ulb.ac.be/jan-tobias-muhlberg/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "LIMITS" group.
