CiE 2012 is one of a series of special events, running throughout the Alan Turing Year, celebrating
Turing's unique impact on mathematics, computing, computer science, informatics, morphogenesis, 
artificial intelligence, philosophy and computational aspects of physics, biology, linguistics, 
economics and the wider scientific world.

CiE 2012 is planned to be an event worthy of the remarkable scientific career it commemorates, 
and will be the largest ever conference centred on the Computability Theoretic legacy of Turing 
and his contemporaries. Current registrations indicate a final participation approaching 400, with 
over 240 speakers.

ONLINE REGISTRATION is invited for this historic event.
