SUMMARY:International Conference "History and Phil
 osophy of Computing", Ghent, Belgium
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111107
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111110
LOCATION:Ghent, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:The computing sciences collect the mos
 t diverse complex of experts: philosophers, logici
 ans, historians, mathematicians, computer scientis
 ts, programmers, engineers. 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. Dead
 line for Papers Submission: 15th May 2011.
