E-CAP is the European conference on Computing and Philosophy, the European affiliate of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP, president: Luciano Floridi). ECAP'09 is the seventh conference in the annual series.


PROGRAM

The conference is interdisciplinary: we invite papers from philosophy, computer science, social science and related disciplines.Computers and thinking are the two sides of the same coin: biocomputing, AI, logic, cognition, robotethics, IT, ontology, history, robotics, affective computing, infoethics, epistemology, simulations, computer proofs, among others, are expressions of the conceptual crossroads between researchers all around the world. E-CAP09 will promote scholarly dialogue on all aspects of the computational & informational turn and the use of computers in the service of philosophy.

VENUE

The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's central campus is in Bellaterra
(Cerdanyola del Vallès), 20km outside Barcelona, between Sabadell and
Sant Cugat del Vallès. The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona was founded
in 1968. The founders aimed to establish four principles of autonomy:
freedom to select teaching staff, admission available to all students
(but with a limited number), freedom to create its own study plans and
freedom to administrate the University's capital. It is therefore a
young university, but in its short history it has moved forward at a
rapid pace.
