TURING 1990 COLLOQUIUM
At the University of Sussex, Brighton, England
3rd - 6th April 1990
This Conference commemorates the 40th anniversary of the publication in Mind
of Alan Turing's influential paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence".
It is hosted by the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences at the
University of Sussex and held under the auspices of the Mind Association.
Additional support has been received from the Analysis Committee, the
Aristotelian Society, The British Logic Colloquium, The International Union
of History and Philosophy of Science, POPLOG, Philosophical Quarterly, and
the SERC Logic for IT Initiative.
The aim of the Conference is to draw together people working in Philosophy,
Logic, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and
related fields, in order to celebrate the intellectual and technological
developments which owe so much to Turing's seminal thought. Papers will be
presented on the following themes: Alan Turing and the emergence of
Artificial Intelligence, Logic and the Theory of Computation, The
Church-Turing Thesis, The Turing Test, Connectionism, Mind and Content,
Philosophy and Methodology of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science.
Invited talks will be given by Paul Churchland, Joseph Ford, Robin Gandy,
Clark Glymour, Douglas Hofstadter, J.R. Lucas, Donald Michie, Christopher
Peacocke and Herbert Simon, while other prominent contributors include
Robert French (Indiana), Beatrice de Gelder (Tilburg), Andrew Hodges
(Oxford), Philip Pettit (ANU) and Aaron Sloman (Sussex).
