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.
