The schedule is now finalized! Clicking "attend" does not guarantee a spot in events with limited attendance. Sign-up sheets are only available at Operations during the event, not online. Note that you can view the schedule in different formats by clicking on the word "schedule" directly underneath this message. We can’t wait to see you at Penguicon 2017!
What if a computer network behaved like a brain? What if, based on activity and resources, a network re-arranged itself to the optimal configuration for a goal? I'll talk about my experiments in creating self-organizing decentralized computer networks that are programmable and have goals. We'll discuss issues like scalability, security and consistency and what networks like this could provide humanity in the future. We'll talk about how networks of this kind can help ordinary humans with information overload and provide intelligence to communities. A simulation and very basic demo will be shown for the first time demonstrating how we can implement these concepts today.
