The First Conference on the History of Nordic Computing (HiNC1) was
organized in Trondheim, in June 2003. The HiNC1 event focused on
the early years of computing, that is the years from the 1940s
through the 1960s, although it formally extended to year 1985. In
the preface of the proceedings of HiNC1, Janis Bubenko, Jr. , John
Impagliazzo, and Arne Solvberg describe well the peculiarities of
early Nordic c- puting [1]. While developing hardware was a
necessity for the first professionals, quite soon the computer
became an industrial product. Computer scientists, among others,
grew increasingly interested in programming and application
software. P- gress in these areas from the 1960s to the 1980s was
experienced as astonishing. The developments during these decades
were taken as the focus of HiNC2. During those decades computers
arrived to every branch of large and medium-sized businesses and
the users of the computer systems were no longer only computer s-
cialists but also people with other main duties. Compared to the
early years of comp- ing before 1960, where the number of computer
projects and applications was small, capturing a holistic view of
the history between the 1960s and the 1980s is conside- bly more
difficult. The HiNC2 conference attempted to help in this endeavor.
