part of AISB/IACAP World Congress 2012 - Alan Turing 2012
2-6 July 2012

We expect contributions about the following topics and their
intersections:

1. The history of computational systems, machines and programs
2. Foundational issues and paradigms of programming (programming logics,
semantics and proof-theories for distributed, secure, cloud, functional,
object-oriented, etc.)

SUBMISSION DETAILS:
The programme will consists of 2 Invited Lectures and up to 8
Contributed Papers. It will takes place in the afternoon session of the

Special Issue of Journal "Philosophy & Technology"
TITLE: Trends in the History and Philosophy of Computing
GUEST EDITORS: Liesbeth de Mol & Giuseppe Primiero

http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/specialissues

relevance of issues in the technology and in particular that do so in a
historical perspective. Areas of relevance are the birth, evolution and
future of machines, algorithms and programs; the foundational and
practical issues related to models of computability and programming
languages; computer experiments and simulations, computer-aided systems,
math- and engineering software, e-learning, scientific databases,
computer and the arts.
