Computer scientists with a philosophical bent and philosophers with a computer bent explore the overlap between the two realms. The overall themes are the philosophy of information, the philosophy of computer science, computer and information ethics, simulating reality, and intersections. Among specific topics are why artificial intelligence and robotics are going nowhere fast, what it is like to be a robot, computer simulations and traditional experimentation from a material point of view, the Thomas effect and computational science, armchair warfare on terrorism, scientific authorship and the electronic commons, the hyper-computational case for substance dualism, programming languages as mathematical theories, biological information and natural computation, and the fundamental properties of information-carrying relations. The 22 papers are from a July 2009 conference in Barcelona, Catalonia. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
