Computing and Philosophy: Call for Proposals

  ----- Please cross-post as appropriate -----

The annual Computing and Philosophy (CAP) conference expands in 2001 to
cover both the Eastern and Western sections of the United States. CAP-AT-OSU
will be held at Oregon State University, January 18th-20th and CAP-AT-CMU will
be held at Carnegie Mellon University August 9th-11th. Both conferences,
co-sponsored by the APA Committee on Philosophy and Computers, deal with all
aspects of the "computational turn" that is occurring within the discipline
of Philosophy. Featured topics typically 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.


The deadline for submissions to the Western Division meeting is Wednesday,
November 29th (2000). The deadline for submissions to the Eastern Division
meeting is Monday, February 19th (2001). Proposals for presentations should
consist of a 2-3 paragraph abstract (URLs pointing to fuller descriptions
and/or examples can be included in the abstract). The conference format
strongly discourages mere 'paper reading.' Speakers are urged to use
computer-based or generated presentation materials wherever appropriate.
