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 
(http://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 
(http://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.

PUBLICATION

Papers presented at the Second Asia-Pacific Conference were successfully 
placed in a variety of publications, including Computing and Philosophy

is foreseen that papers at the Third AP-CAP will be published in the 
same way.

REGISTRATION

Due to the foreseen subsidy by the Commission on Higher Education, we 
are pleased to announce that registration fees for the conference are 
very much reduced. We have a flat fee of 4,500 Thai Baht for non-members 
of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy, and 
members pay only 3,000 Baht. (See this link for currency exchange 
information). Students don't have to pay registration fees. (Please show 
your current ID.) The fees for non-members already include membership 
fees, so everybody becomes a member of the IACAP upon registration to 
the conference.

Due to the low registration fees, we are not in a position to process 
international transfer of any kind. So if you come to Thailand from 
abroad, please pay for your registration in cash in Thai Baht and in 
person at the site of the conference. Thai participants can wire their 
payment to the following account:

    Name: Center for Ethics of Science and Technology
    Number: 038-4-02757-0
    Bank: Siam Commercial Bank, Siam Square Branch

Important - international participants please don't wire your fees to 
this account. You have to come to the conference and pay your fees in 
cash only.

In order to register in advance, please send an email to Dr. Soraj 
Hongladarom (s.hongladarom at gmail.com) stating your name, affiliation, 
paper title, contact address and email address. Advance registration is
