Call for Papers: IACAP 2014
The Annual Meeting of the International Association for Computing and
Philosophy http://www.iacap.org/

This year?s meeting of the International Association for Computing and
Philosophy will be held at Anatolia College/ACT in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Computing technologies both raise philosophical questions and shed light
on traditional philosophical problems; it is this two-way relation that is
the focus of IACAP meetings.
We invite submission of abstracts, as well as submission of proposals for
symposia on computing and philosophy. This year?s meeting will have a
single main track, focusing on topics which proved to be at the core of
IACAP member?s interest. In parallel, the symposia will focus on more
specific topics, organised autonomously by members or member groups. One
symposium will be dedicated to the work of young researchers.
We will publish selected papers in a volume of the ?Synthese Library?
(Springer). Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full
paper for peer-review to this volume.
Some abstracts will be accepted for presentation as posters. For papers,
we foresee slots of 30 minutes per talk, including discussion.
Topics of interest:
? Artificial Intelligence
? Artificial Life
? Cognitive Science, Computation & Cognition
? Computational Modeling in Science and Social Science
? Computer-Mediated Communication
? Distance Education and Electronic Pedagogy
? Ethical Problems and Societal Impact of Computation and Information
? History of Computing
? Information Culture and Society
? Logic
? Metaphysics of Computing
? Philosophy of Information
? Philosophy of Information Technology
? Robotics
? Virtual Reality
... and related issues
FORMAT For abstracts, we request anonymous submission of 600-1000 words
(plus references) in plain text or PDF, plus a short abstract of up to 120
words. All submissions will be reviewed double-blind by at least two
members of the programme committee. All submissions of paper abstracts -
whether to the main track or to symposia - are made centrally on the same
site and all reviewing takes place on that site.
For symposia, please provide a brief motivation (ca. 300 words), a list of
envisaged speakers, and indication of time needed (full day, half day,
etc.). The submission procedure and reviewing for symposia will be taken
care of by their organisers - but within the structure provided by IACAP
and the submission system for this conference.
