The Asia-Pacific Computing and Philosophy Conference 2010 (AP-CAP 2010) 
will be held on the campus of Wellington Institute of Technology 
(WelTec), Petone, Wellington, New Zealand.  AP-CAP 2010 is part of a 
series of conferences organised by the International Association for 
Computing and Philosophy. CAP conferences are interdisciplinary by their 
very nature; we therefore welcome the submission of papers from a wide 
variety of disciplines at the intersection of philosophy, computer 
science and information technology as well as related areas in the 
social sciences.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers
Prof. John Weckert
Prof. Edwin Mares
Prof. Jack Copeland


Research Tracks
Whilst there is no specific theme for the conference papers are invited 
which explore the following ideas and their related disciplines.

     * Information and Computer Ethics
     * Identity, Trust and the Social Networking Phenomenon
     * Virtual Environments
     * Computing, Culture and Society
     * Computer-based Education and Electronic Pedagogy

     * Metaphysics (Ontology, etc.)
     * Artificial Intelligence, Mechatronics, Robotics and Autonomous Agents
     * Philosophy of Computer Science

Submissions
Electronic submission is now open via OpenConf 
http://www.ia-cap.org/ap-cap10/openconf/openconf.php
IA-CAP is moving towards full paper submissions however please limit 
submission length to 3000 words and include a 250 word abstract.  IACAP 
discourages participants from reading their papers to the audience.  The 
use of PowerPoint or other presentation software is popular.  However, 
these need not be submitted with your original paper.
Post graduate students (PhD and Masters) are especially encouraged to 
submit.

Panel Proposals
We are also accepting expressions of interest for a panel discussion, to 
be submitted to stevet.mckinlay at gmail.com by July 30, 2010. Panel 
proposals must be accompanied with a paper submission which includes a 
statement of the general topic, and an overview of the specific problems 
or issues to be addressed. Please also include a list of the panelists 
involved, their expertise in this area, and whether they have indicated 
that they are willing to participate.
