The number of involved subjects grows accordingly: from foundational iss ues to their applications; from philosophical ques tions to problems of realizability and design of s pecifications; from theoretical studies of computa tional barriers to the relevance of machines for e ducational purposes. A historical awareness of t he evolution of computing not only helps to clarif y 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. Philoso phy, on the other hand, helps to tackle some of th e fundamental problems of computing, going from th e limits of the 'mathematicizing power of homo sap iens' to the design of feasible and concrete model s of interactive processes. The aim of this confer ence is to bring together these two streams: we ar e strongly convinced that an interplay between the researchers with an interest in the history and p hilosophy of computing can crucially add to the ma turity of the field. For more information, see h ttp://www.computing-conference.ugent.be or contact computing.conference at ugent.be. We plan to ha ve up to 30 contributed papers to be presented at the conference. We welcome contributions from logi cians and philosophers or historians of science as well as from philosophically and/or historically aware computer scientists and mathematicians.

The c omputing sciences collect the most diverse complex of\n experts: philosophers, logicians, histo rians, mathematicians,\n computer scientists, programmers, engineers. The number of\n invo lved subjects grows accordingly: from foundational issues to\n their applications; from philoso phical questions to problems of\n realizabili ty and design of specifications; from theoretical\ n studies of computational barriers to the re levance of machines\n for educational purpose s.\n
\nA historical awareness of the evolution of computing not only\n helps to clarify the complex structure of the computing\ n sciences, but it also provides an insight i n what computing was,\n is and maybe could be in the future. Philosophy, on the other\n ha nd, helps to tackle some of the fundamental proble ms of\n computing, going from the limits of t he 'mathematicizing power\n of homo sapiens' to the design of feasible and concrete models\n of interactive processes. The aim of this confe rence is to bring\n together these two stream s: we are strongly convinced that an\n interp lay between the researchers with an interest in th e\n history and philosophy of computing can c rucially add to the\n maturity of the field.\ n
