The 2007 North American Computing and Philosophy Conference will be held at
Loyola University’s Water Tower Campus in Chicago from July 26th to the
28th. The theme for this year’s conference is Open Source Software and Open
Access Publication. Keynote speakers are Richard Stallman, founder of the
GNU project, and Peter Suber, a leader in the open access movement. (Visit
the conference website at http://na-cap.osi.luc.edu.)
In addition to this theme, the conference will also include its usual array
of topics in information ethics, cognitive science, AI, robotics, cultural
and social issues, simulations and modeling, distance learning,
computational logic and linguistics, and electronic and teaching resources.
