18-19 February 2012, Turing in Context (TiC@King's), Cambridge, U.K.

In the year 2012, the academic world will celebrate Alan Turing's (1912-1954) birth centenary as the Alan Turing Year. The event "Turing in Context" will highlight the many contributions of Alan Turing for a general academic audience, in particular for undergraduate and postgraduate students of all fields, and put these contributions in a historical context. Our seven speakers will cover topics such as British war intelligence, discrimination laws, pattern formation in biological systems, artificial intelligence, as well as logic and foundations of computing.
