Call for Papers: IACAP 2014

\n

Deadline for abstracts &\; symposia: 15.3.14

\n

The Annual Meeting of the \;International Association for Computing and Philosophy

\n

Anatolia College/ACT
Thessaloniki\, Greece
July 2-4\, 2014
http://www.pt-ai.org/iacap/2014/

\n

 \;Organisation: \;Vincent C. Mü\;ller \;&\; the IACAP Executive Committee

\n

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 since 1986.

\n

 \;We invite submission of \;abstracts\, as well as submission of \;proposals for symposia \;on computing and philosophy. This year&rsquo\;s meeting will have a single main track\, focusing on topics which proved to be at the core of IACAP member&rsquo\;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.

\n

 \;We will publish selected papers in a volume of the &lsquo\;Synthese Library&rsquo\; (Springer). Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper for peer-review to this volume.

\n

 \;Some abstracts will be accepted for presentation as posters. For papers\, we foresee slots of 30 minutes per talk\, including discussion.
