British Computer Society (BCS)

CASYS 2002
No International Conference on Computing Anticipatory Systems, CASYS, was organized by CHAOS in 2002, and so no BCSCMsG International Symposium was held. As an alternative however, the meetings of the Alternative Natural Philosophy Association, ANPA 24**, held in Cambridge, UK, at Wesley House, from August 15 to 20th, 2002 and in the previous year IAP 2001 The Frontiers of Computation, the annual symposium of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers, held at Trinity House on Saturday the 3rd of November, 2001, were advertised to BCSCMsG members.

** ANPA is an annual event, where delegates can submit and present scientific papers, which appear in an edited printed Proceedings the following year. This year the invited speakers were Janna Levin from the Newton Institute, Cambridge, speaking on "How the Universe got its Spots" and John Barrett of Nottingham University speaking on "Geometrical Measurements in three dimensional Quantum Gravity".

ANPA has on-line discussion facilities, anpa-discussions-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and further details maybe obtained via anpa-list-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Peter Marcer, BCSCMsG chair, was an invited speaker at the Institute of Theoretical Anatomy in Dresden, Germany, at a meeting from June 21-23rd, 2002.
