> From 7-10 November 2011 the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science
> organizes an International Conference on the History and Philosophy of
> Computing.
>
>
> AIMS AND SCOPE
>
> The computing sciences collect the most diverse complex of experts:
> philosophers, logicians, historians, mathematicians, computer
> scientists, programmers, engineers. The number of involved subjects
> grows accordingly: from foundational issues to their applications; from
> philosophical questions to problems of realizability and design of
> specifications; from theoretical studies of computational barriers to
> the relevance of machines for educational purposes.
>
> A historical awareness of the evolution of computing not only helps to
> clarify the complex structure of the computing sciences, but it also
> provides an insight in what computing was, is and maybe could be in the
> future. Philosophy, on the other hand, helps to tackle some of the
> fundamental problems of computing, going from the limits of the
> ?mathematicizing power of homo sapiens?to the design of feasible and
> concrete models of interactive processes.
>
> The aim of this conference is to bring together these two streams: we
> are strongly convinced that an interplay between the researchers with an
> interest in the history and philosophy of computing can crucially add to
> the maturity of the field.
>
> We plan to have up to 30 contributed papers to be presented at the
> conference. We welcome contributions from logicians and philosophers or
> historians of science as well as from philosophically and/or
> historically aware computer scientists and mathematicians.
>
> Topics of the conference include:
>
> The birth, evolution and future of computation
> *
> Philosophical, foundational and practical issues of
> computability in logic, mathematics and computer science

> Computation in the sciences
