I will be presenting at The Eleventh HOPE.
UPDATE: Now that the official HOPE schedule has been published I can say that I'll be speaking in the Noether room on Sunday, 24 July 2016 at 2:00pm EST4EDT.
UPDATE: The Internet Society will be livestreaming video of the talks as they happen. Here's the page listing all of the livestreams.
I found out last weekend (yes, I've been sitting on this - timed posts are the busy blogger's friend) that the talk I submitted for The Eleventh HOPE in July of 2016 was accepted. I will be giving a presentation on Exocortex, my latest work (of mad science), entitled Constructing Exocortices with Huginn and Halo at some point that weekend. I'll be talking about both Huginn (I asked Andrew if he would present with me; he declined because he may not be able to attend HOPE this year (and Andrew, if somehow you can fit it into your busy schedule I'd really like it if you did..)) and Exocortex Halo. To be more specific, I'll be talking a little bit about how they work - what agents do and how they fit together to process information individually to carry out more complex tasks. I'll also be talking about how Halo's constructs send and receive information to and from Huginn to accomplish more sophisticated things (like generate the speech that gets played over a VoIP link or send commands to a personal search engine to index an entire site to sort through later).
This also puts me on the hook to come up with some really off-the-wall but useful stuff to show off. Thankfully I've got several hundred off-the-wall ideas already written down. Now where are my d10's...
When I know where my talk fits into the HOPE schedule I'll post with the specifics. I'd really appreciate it if everyone spread the word about my talk (and thank you in advance if you do).
