As ASIS&T looks to the future, all community members are invited to contribute to a shared vision for information science. As a program of the SIG for History and Foundations (SIG-HFIS), this alternative event focuses on developing a vision for conceptual, philosophical, theoretical and historical work in information science. This event will provide a participatory platform to investigate questions such as: What is the domain of history and foundations? How does it relate to other research areas in the information field? The event will involve panelist interviews with diverse scholars, small-group discussions of big questions for history and foundations, and the presentation of a new idea-sharing platform, the HFIS Wishlist. This event will be a locus for participation and inspiration regarding historical and foundations work in information science as part of formulating a future vision for SIG-HFIS, ASIS&T, and the information field more broadly.

The Longitudinal Social Impacts of HRI over Long-Term Deployments Workshop seeks to bring together researchers working on all aspects of thoroughly understanding such deployments. This includes researchers working in contributing areas, such as longitudinal studies of human-robot interaction, longterm autonomy, and real-world reployments. This workshop seeks to grow the study of how real-world, deployed robot systems impact the people who interact with them and the social structure of the places that they inhabit. Historically, research in this area has been high-impact. As the world sees robots begin to inhabit places designed for peopledelivery robots on city streets, and robots with jobs in airports, shopping malls, and in the home-we expect the importance of understanding these impacts to grow.
