UPDATES:
The submission deadline for symposium proposals has been extended.
The Covey and Simon Award winners have been selected. The Executive
Committee is pleased to announce that the Covey Award has been awarded to
Professor Selmer Bringsjord (Rensselaer Polytechnic) and the Simon Award
has been awarded to Professor Gualterio Piccinini (Missouri- St. Louis).
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 elucidate
traditional philosophical problems. IACAP meetings emphasise this two-way
relationship, providing an opportunity for researchers in multiple fields
to share new work in an interdisciplinary setting.
We invite both abstract submissions and symposium proposals in areas at
the intersection of computing and philosophy. This year?s meeting will
have a single main track focusing on topics central to IACAP membership
interests. 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. Some abstracts will be accepted for
presentation as posters. Paper presentations will be allotted 30 minutes,
including discussion.
Selected papers will be published 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. IACAP is also soliciting nominations
for a number of awards (see below).
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): ? 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.
