DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>OVERVIEW:</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;Our workshop could be considered as the continuation of a part of the symposium &ldquo\;Computing Nature&rdquo\; organized by Gordana Dodig &ndash\; Crnkovic and Raffaela Giovagnoli in the AISB/IACAP World Congress 2012 and &ldquo\;Representation of Reality: Humans\, Animals and Machines&rdquo\; in the AISB50 Convention at Goldsmith 2014. We would like to offer a further occasion to discuss the problem of &ldquo\;representation&rdquo\; in humans\, other animals and machines. It is closely related to the question what capacities can be plausibly computed and what are the most promising approaches that try to solve the problem.</p>\n<p><strong>CALL FOR PAPERS:</strong></p>\n<p>We aim to discuss the following interesting topics related to the problem of representation:</p>\n<p>(1) The point of view of connectionism and dynamical systems (Scheutz\, Clark\, Juarrero\, Kaneko and Tsuda\, O&rsquo\;Brien\, Horgan\, Trenholme) namely the different proposals about the possibility to rule out representation.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;(2) A plausible strategy to analyze the problem of representation from a philosophical perspective implies the comparison between human and machine capacities and skills. Searle presented an interesting theory of representation based on the mind&rsquo\;s capacities to represent objects and to the linguistic capacities to extend the representation to social entities. For machine representation current results in AI and cognitive robotics are of interest.</p>\n<p>(3) Evolutionary aspects of the development of increasingly complex capacities in (embodied\, embedded) living organisms to process information in the interaction with the environment and as a consequence develop new morphological structures &ndash\; morphogenesis\, meta-morphogenesis.</p>\n<p><strong>SUBMISSION</strong></p>\n<p>Abstracts for this workshop should be sent by email to&nbsp\;<a target="_blank">raffa.giovagnoli@tiscali.it</a>&nbsp\;by November 15th.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>KEYNOTE SPEAKER:</strong></p>\n<p>Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic\, Department of Computer Science and Networks\, M&auml\;lardalen University\, Sweden.<strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>WORKSHOP ORGANIZER</strong></p>\n<p>Raffaela Giovagnoli (Faculty of Philosophy\, Pontifical Lateran University\, Rome)\,<a target="_blank">raffa.giovagnoli@tiscali.it</a></p>
