E-CAP10 - the 8th Conference on Computing and Philosophy

GENERAL INFORMATION ECAP10 is the eighth conference in the annual series. From Monday 4th to Wednesday 6th October, 2010 the European Conference on COMPUTING AND PHILOSOPHY (ECAP10) will be held at the TUM - Technische Universität München. ECAP is the European conference on Computing and Philosophy, the European affiliate of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP). ECAP10 is the eighth conference in the annual series.
The conference is interdisciplinary: we invite papers from philosophy, computer science, robotics, engineering sciences, social sciences and related disciplines. Computing and thinking are the two sides of the same coin: biocomputing, AI, logic, cognition, ontology, knowledge systems, simulations, robotics, affective computing, epistemology, infoethics, robotethics, history among others, are expressions of the conceptual crossroads between researchers all around the world. ECAP10 will be devoted to the foundations and limits of man-machine interaction. Our thoughts and actions, our perception, imagination, and experience depend more and more on informational, computational, and robotic systems with increasing complexity and autonomy. What are their epistemic, ethical, and societal challenges for the future of mankind? ECAP10 will promote scholarly dialogues on all aspects of this computational & informational turn of society and the use of computers and robots in the service of philosophy.
