  CALL FOR PAPERS

The Third Asia-Pacific Computing and Philosophy Conference

November 2-4, 2007

Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand

Website: http://www.stc.arts.chula.ac.th/APCAP2007/

The Third Asia-Pacific Computing and Philosophy Conference will again 
take place at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. The 
conference is being held in succession to the successful Second Asia- 
Pacific Conference in January 2005 (www.stc.arts.chula.ac.th/CAP/AP- 
CAP.html).

AP-CAP2007 is part of the series of conferences organized by the 
International Association for Computing and Philosophy (www.ia- 
cap.org). The conferences have been in held in various regions of the 
world. As of now there are three major regions where these conferences 
are held, namely in North America (NA-CAP), Europe (ECAP) and Asia- 
Pacific.

As with the other CAP conferences, AP-CAP2007 will also deal with all 
aspects of the "computational turn" that is occurring through the 
interaction of the disciplines of philosophy and computing. And in 
continuation from the second conference, papers dealing with 'cultural' 
aspects of computing and philosophy would be specially emphasized, 
though papers in other areas will of course be welcome. The conference 
is interdisciplinary: We invite papers from philosophy, computer 
science, social science and related disciplines.

CONFERENCE VENUE

The conference will be held within the campus of Chulalongkorn University.
