PICO - Philosophy of Information and Computing |
||||||||||
| ||||||||||
Overview Philosophy of Information and Computing (PICO) combines scientific, philosophical and ethic perspectives on the two fundamental phenomena: information (the structure) and computation (the process). The field is intensely developing internationally within Computing and Philosophy, Foundations of Information, BITRUM and ISIS research communities. Our contributions to the field up to now: organization of the E-CAP 2005, European Computing and Philosophy Conference, followed by the proceedings published in tripleC journal, and number of articles and book chapters and four books within the field. In 2012 two symposia organized within AISB/IACAP Alan Turing World Congress in Birmingham – on Natural/Unconventional Computing and Social Computing/Multiagent Systems. Two special journal issues prepared for journals Information and Entropy. Book manuscript in preparation for Springer SAPERE Series. |
