International Association for Computing and Philosophy - Annual Meeting

 

June 14-17, 2016 University of Ferrara, Italy

 
The International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP) [http://www.iacap.org/] <> is delighted to announce that submissions are now being accepted for its 2016 annual meeting [http://www.iacap.org/iacap-2016 <http://www.iacap.org/iacap-2016>], to be held on June 14-17 at the University of Ferrara, Italy [http://www.unife.it/international] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrara <http://www.unife.it/international]%20[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrara>]. The meeting will be hosted by Professor Marcello D’Agostino [http://docente.unife.it/dgm <http://docente.unife.it/dgm>] and Professor Marcello D’Alfonso [http://docente.unife.it/dlfmtv/ <http://docente.unife.it/dlfmtv/>].

IACAP has a long-lasting tradition of promoting philosophical dialogue and interdisciplinary research on all aspects of the computational and informational turn. This puts it in a privileged position, as IACAP’s members have contributed shaping the philosophical and ethical debate about computing, information technologies, and artificial intelligence. The 2016 annual meeting will keep this tradition and will gather philosophers, ethicists, roboticists, and computer scientists interested in the following topics:


Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Life
Automated Warfare
Cognitive Science, Computation & Cognition
Computational Modeling in Science and Social Science
Computer-Mediated Communication
Ethical Problems and Societal Impact of Computation and Information
History of Computing
Information Culture and Society
Metaphysics of Computing
Philosophy of Information
Philosophy of Information Technology
Robotics
Virtual Reality

... and related issues

The meeting will have a main track focusing on topics at the core of IACAP members’ interests. Symposia will also be organized and run by members, or groups of members, to focus on more specific topics.

We invite submissions of papers (between 3000 and 6000 words) as well as submissions of proposals for symposia. A selection of the papers presented during the meeting will be included (after peer review) in a volume planned for the ‘Philosophical Library Studies’ (Springer).
