that arise in the practice of those disciplines. Topics to be discussed 
will include, but are not limited to: the history of computer science; 
the foundations of computation and mathematical cognition; computational 
and informational perspectives on scientific decision making, scientific 
methodology, and the characterisation of scientific theories; physical
