1st call for papers
We welcome submissions on topics normally classified under 'natural  
computing' or 'unconventional computing' or 'hypercomputing',  
including (but not restricted to) quantum computing, relativistic  
computing, biology-based computing, analogue computing, and also  
submissions on the philosophical implications of these new fields for  
topics including (but again not restricted to) philosophy of mind,  
philosophy of mathematics, the Church-Turing thesis.

Each presentation should last no more than 30 minutes; a further 10  
minutes will be allowed for discussion.

Those wishing to make a presentation should submit by email a 250-word  
abstract of their paper to Mark Hogarth (mhogarth at cantab.net);
