foundations of Informatics, especially regarding the foundations of
Artificial Intelligence. The major goal of the workshop is to bring
researchers, scientists from both philosophy and informatics, and
representatives from different communities together to study,=20
understand,
and explore philosophical points of view and points of view in=20
informatics
in order to develop an interface between both disciplines. Steps to=20
build
a common vocabulary of philosophers and computer scientists should be=20
taken.
As a result, a common understanding on some of the topics mentioned=20
below
shall originate.
Besides paper presentations, this workshop offers organized and open=20
spaces
for targeted discussions. It aims at offering a forum for the=20
