Arbeitsfeld des Fachbereiches 8 ist die Wechselwirkung von Informatik und Gesellschaft. Der Fachbereich analysiert Voraussetzungen, Wirkungen und Folgen von Informatik, Informationstechnik und Informationsverarbeitung in allen Bereichen der Gesellschaft.
Der FB 8 arbeitet an gesellschaftlichen Zielsetzungen für die Informatik und leitet
daraus Gestaltungskriterien ab. Er will Fehlentwicklungen in der Informatik aufzeigen
und Wege für eine gesellschaftlich verantwortete Technikgestaltung weisen. Dazu unterstützt
er einschlägige Tätigkeiten in Forschung, Entwicklung, Bildung und anderer beruflicher
Praxis. Aufgrund dieser breiten Ausrichtung bestehen vielfältige Beziehungen zu den
Aufgaben und Aktivitäten anderer GI-
Der FB 8 ist derzeit in fünf Fachgruppen (FG) für längerfristige Tätigkeiten gegliedert. In zwei Arbeitskreisen (AK) werden zeitlich begrenzte Aufgabenstellungen verfolgt.
* FG Frauenarbeit und Informatik
* FG Informatik-
* FG Informatik und Dritte Welt
* FG Computer als Medium
* FG Informatik und Verantwortung
* AK Studienreform

Computer History Association of California (CHAC)
The Computer History Association of California is a charitable, nonprofit corporation established in 1993 to serve six major purposes: To study, preserve, protect and popularize the history of electronic computing in the State of California. To publish a quarterly journal called the Analytical Engine, devoted to the history which CHAC is mandated to preserve. To collect and archive hardware, software and documents significant to that history. To participate in an informal network of institutions specializing in computer history, in California and elsewhere. To correspond electronically, through the USENET newsgroup alt.folklore.computers, with computer historians worldwide. To plan strategically for the establishment of a major, comprehensive, public museum of computing, probably in the Silicon Valley area, by the turn of the century.
