They seek to bring together researchers from philosophy and informatics and neighboring disciplines in order to explore common points of interest and to develop an interface between the disciplines and a common vocabulary. The workshop also serves as the annual meeting platform of the members of the Special Interest Group on Philosophy and Informatics. The 2006 Workshop has a special focus on the area of bio- and biomedical informatics.

For more information, see http://wspi2006.workshop.hm/

WSPI 2006 focuses on bioinformatics, but contributions on philosophy and informatics in general are also invited. Submission deadline is 16 January 2006.

27-30 June 2006, Sixth International Andrei Ershov Memorial Conference: PERSPECTIVES OF SYSTEM INFORMATICS, Novosibirsk, Akademgorodok, Russia

Date: 27-30 June 2006
Location: Novosibirsk, Akademgorodok, Russia
Deadline: 23 January 2006

The conference is held to honor the 75th anniversary of academician Andrei Ershov (1931-1988) and his outstanding contributions towards advancing informatics. The first five conferences were held in 1991, 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2003, respectively, and proved to be significant international events.

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for the presentation and in-depth discussion of advanced research directions in computer science. For a developing science, it is important to work out consolidating ideas, concepts and models. Movement in this direction is another aim of the conference. Improvement of the contacts and exchange of ideas between researchers from the East and West are further goals.

Date: 12-14 July 2006
Location: Utrecht
Deadline: 27 January 2006
