2004 North AmericanCAP ConferenceAt Carnegie MellonAugust 4th- 6thComputing and Philosophy (CAP) conferences have become the central meeting place for all aspects of computing and philosophy. CAP meetings are now held in three international regions: North America (NA-CAP); Europe (E-CAP) and along the Asia-Pacific rim (AP-CAP). Information about all CAP conferences can be found on the web-site for the International Association for Computing and Philosophy at iacap.org As with all CAP conferences, speakers and panels will address many aspects of the "computational turn" that is occurring within the discipline of Philosophy. Featured topics include AI and Epistemology, new models of Logic Software, Computer Ethics, Computing and World Cultures, Electronic Resources, and the Impact of Distance Learning on the Profession. In addition to invited participants, the Program Committees welcome proposals dealing with, but not restricted to: The use of computers in the teaching of philosophy. This may include their use in symbolic and informal logic as well as in the teaching of other courses in philosophy. Pedagogically rich and/or advanced uses of educational computing will receive priority in the selection process. The use of computers as research tools in philosophy. This may include any substantive use of computers in areas such as electronic texts and communications as well as topics in logic, the philosophy of language or the philosophy of mind. The philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence. This may include current theories and methods as well as relevant areas of the philosophy of science. The area of computer ethics. This may include ethical issues regarding privacy, ownership of intellectual property, professional responsibility, access and distributive justice, anonymous communication, democracy and the electronic citizen, human values and human rights, globalization and ethical relativism, or other ethics topics related to information technology. This year's Program Chair also welcomes presentations [concerning Computing and Philosophy] that address issues of relevance to, or speak from the perspective of, underrepresented, underprivileged, marginalized, or oppressed groups. The conference format strongly discourages mere 'paper reading.' Speakers are urged to use computer-based or generated presentation materials wherever appropriate. |
