The Fifth International Workshop on Philosophy and Informatics (WSPI 2008) was organized by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence DFKI GmbH, the Department of Philosophy at the University of Kaiserslautern, and the Special Interest Group on Philosophy and Informatics of the German Informatics Society.

Goal of the Philosophy and Informatics Workshop Series

The workshops are designed to encourage interdisciplinary exchange on the philosophical foundations of informatics. They seek to bring together researchers from philosophy, informatics and neighbouring disciplines in order to explore common points of interest and to intensify the exchange between the disciplines and a common vocabulary. The workshops serve as the annual meeting platform of the members of the Special Interest Group on Philosophy and Informatics. The 2008 Workshop had a special focus on the area of conceptualization and representation in both computer science and philosophy.
