FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Labor Tech] call for papers on scientific computing, due Dec 6 Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2024 11:27:58 -0600 From: Hannah Cohoon <johannacohoon@gmail.com> To: labor-tech@googlegroups.com Hi all, As co-chair for the applied social sciences paper track, I’d like to invite submissions to PASC25 <https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org/submission/guidelines-for-papers/>. The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) is co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). PASC25 will be held from June 16 to 18, 2025, at FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch, Switzerland. I’ve been to this conference several times and found it to be a welcoming community particularly interested in best practices for scientific software development and case studies of social science methods being used to improve scientific infrastructure/development—including work practices. I see the Labor Tech community as particularly well positioned to address topics like the "extra work" of reproducibility efforts, software stewardship, and open source community building as well as the professionalization (or gigification?) of scientific software development and diversity issues within that career path. Papers accepted for PASC25 will be presented as talks and published in the Proceedings of the PASC Conference, accessible via the ACM Digital Library. We employ a rigorous academic peer-review process: most notably, we allow the possibility for provisional acceptance (revision and author rebuttal). For that reason, I’d encourage you to submit even if you’re not quite happy with the draft. The guidelines for submissions are published at https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org/submission/guidelines-for-papers/. *Papers are due Dec 6* with first round notifications in February. I’d be more than happy to talk about whether or not your paper idea would be appropriate (there’s also a talk only format and posters, so we could discuss those options as well). PASC does offer early career and student travel awards. Please reach out with any questions! best wishes, Hannah Cohoon LBNL -- Welcome to the Labor Tech reading group. We are a diverse group of writers, readers, and researchers with eclectic training and skills. We share an interest in the social, political, economic, cultural, and historical analysis of technology. We're more interested in critical analytics than in disciplinary affiliations. In order to manage an increasingly diverse group, we invite participation in discussions based on rigorous, critical readings of texts and practices, rather than based on opinion and hearsay (although a good gossip session at the end of a rigorous hour is often not a bad idea). No snarky disciplinary fights, ad hominem attacks, email flaming, please. Topics and styles of readings vary widely from one meeting to another. Attend only if you're interested; no apologies necessary if you're not. But do sign up (Drop Box, or direct email reply to organizer), to help us plan. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Labor Tech Research Network" group.
