Call for abstracts: Epistemology of Analogue Simulation
University of Geneva
Tuesday 10 September
The deadline has been extended for abstract submission to the workshop "Epistemology of Analogue Simulation" to be held at the University of Geneva on 10 September, 2019. The workshop is jointly organised by the University of Queensland and the University of Geneva.
Analogue simulation techniques have taken on increasing significance in experimental science in recent years. In particular, analogue black hole experiments appear to provide insight into black hole phenomena, such as Hawking radiation, and analogue quantum simulation appears to provide a powerful computational tool for analysing intractable quantum systems. This workshop aims to explore the epistemology of analogue simulation, considering (but not limited to) the following sorts of questions: What epistemic license does analogue simulation warrant? In what ways, if at all, does the epistemology of analogue simulation differ from conventional experiment or computer simulation? In what ways, if at all, is the epistemology of analogue quantum simulation idiosyncratic compared to other forms of analogue simulation?
We invite abstract submissions of approximately 300 words from philosophers, physicists, and other related fields on the themes of the workshop. We especially encourage submissions from early career researchers and underrepresented groups, who will be given priority. Travel and accommodation for successful submissions will be covered by the workshop.
New deadline for submissions: 30 July 2019
