Subject: Philosophy & Computing CFP
Philosophy & Computing
The journal is devoted to the use of computers and computational ideas
in both research and teaching in philosophy, applications of ideas from
philosophy in computing, and philosophical questions about the
foundations and impact of computers and computational ideas. Examples of
the first include the development of computer programs for the discovery
of scientific theories (philosophy of science), work on automated proof
construction (logic), work on case-based reasoning (ethical theory),
material on the use of text-analysis software (history of philosophy),
and the description and evaluation of innovative computer-assited
instructional materials. Examples of the second include the application
of speech act theory to computer programming languages or the
application of work on metaphor and analogy to natural language
understanding. Examples of the last include topics in computer ethics,
work on the nature of knowledge and expert systems, and discussions of
the possibility of artificial life.
Philosophy & Computing is the official journal of CAP. For information

Information for Authors
The journal invites submissions on all topics within its scope.
Submissions should generally be in English. They should be addressed to
an audience of non-specialists. They may take the form of research or
tutorial or literature review articles, descriptions of innovative
software or its use and evaluation, and reviews of software and printed
materials.
Submissions may be made in either electronic or printed form. All
submissions should include an abstract. Electronic submissions may be
sent to the editor on disk or through email. Submissions on disk should
be either for MS-DOS or Macintosh. Printed submissions should be
double-spaced and include on a separate page the title, author's name,
and address. Submissions which include more than a few special symbols
or figures (for example, screen dumps) or more than a few instances of
special layout should be made in printed rather than electronic form.
All proposals, enquiries, and submissions should be sent to the editor:
Leslie Burkholder, CDEC Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA
15213-3890; leslie.burkholder@andrew.cmu.edu;
leslie.burkholder@andrew.bitnet.
Authors of accepted submissions will be encouraged to submit electronic
copies of their submissions in addition to a final printed copy. One of
these electronic copies should be a stripped ASCII file of the text of
the article or review, with figures and tables in separate files. The
other should be a marked-up file (for example, a Microsoft Word file).
Notes should be endnotes rather than footnotes. References should follow
the American Psychological Association style guide; in particular,
references should be in the form "(<author surnames>, <date>, <pages>)"
and placed wherever possible in the text rather than a separate endnote.
Complete citations should be included in a bibliography.
