Best of JOWO 2025 award

Leave a comment
We are pleased to announce that Fumiaki Toyoshima and Ludger Jansen are the recipients of the Best of JOWO 2025 award for their submission “Malfunctioning Artifacts: A Step Towards a Realizable-Centered Unifying Account” (Proceedings of JOWO 2025, CEUR vol. 4176)
Accepted to FOUST IX, in this work the authors persuasively argue that malfunctioning artifacts are best understood in terms of intentional realizable entities that fail to be realized.
Congratulations to you both!
