TL;DRAbstract

Alan Turing is well known for his Turing test in artificial intelligence, but the full range of his contributions in a wide variety of disparate disciplines is perhaps not so well appreciated. Hence the impetus for this conference - the only one in the UK in 2004 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Turing's death - to attempt to provide an overview that encompassed this remarkable man's pioneering work in several diverse fields. The conference comprised five in-depth presentations covering Turing's life and work (Dr Andrew Hodges) and Turing's leading role in the following key areas: logic (Professor Barry Cooper); computing (Dr David Anderson); artificial intelligence (Professor B. Jack Copeland), and biology (in particular morphogenesis) (Dr Jonathan Swinton). Only three of the five conference papers are available on this eWic site. Interested parties are directed towards the following Turing Festschrift: Teuscher, Christof (2004) Alan Turing: Life and Legacy of a Great Thinker, Spri
