FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
First Workshop on
PHILOSOPHY AND INFORMATICS
31. March - 1. April 2004, Cologne (Germany)
http://www.nt.fh-koeln.de/philosophyandinformatics/
Paper submission deadline: 5. December 2003
TARGET GROUPS
Scientists from Philosophy, Computer Science (Informatics) or from
related subjects with interest in a trans-disciplinary discourse
on foundations of Artificial Intelligence.
Submission languages are English and German. The workshop will be
held in English.
GOALS
This workshop will be the first meeting of the Special Interest
Group "Philosophy and Informatics" which has just been founded as
part of the German Informatics Society GI (Gesellschaft für
Informatik).
The workshop should encourage the trans-disciplinary discourse on
foundations of Artificial Intelligence. In this discourse,
Interfaces between philosophical points of view and points of view
in informatics in should be discussed. First steps to build a
common vocabulary of philosophers and computer scientists should
be taken.
TOPICS
We are looking for contributions that propose new approaches or
identify conceptual problems with one of the following aspects:
* Relations between ontologies as a concept of Artificial
Intelligence and ontology as a philosophical discipline
* Epistemology and ontologies, ontologies and taxonomy
* The paradigm of domains: Problems of isolation (frame
problem), transfer problem ("Eigengesetzlichkeit" of
domains), problems of adaptation of logic (modal logic)
* Thinking ("Denken") vs. knowledge ("Wissen"), process vs.
result: Propositional vs. non-propositional knowledge,
associative vs. structural thinking
* Semantics and knowledge representation
* Phenomenology, tacit or implicit knowledge
* Philosophical aspects of knowledge management
* Evaluation of knowledge: qualitative and quantitative aspects
* Individualisation of knowledge
SUBMISSIONS
This workshop solicits full research papers and statements of
interest.
* Full papers (max. 8 pages) discuss innovative problems from
one of the areas sketched above.
* Statements of interest (max. 1 page) should describe the
motivation of a workshop participant, his background,
proposed questions and/or expected results.
Members of the program committee will review all research papers.
