The
Physics of Performance Curves, an EDU Conference being
planned for 2013.
- What
explains the smoothness and the differential rates of acceleration
in so many of our technology performance curves (computing, storage,
bandwidth, energy production, etc.) as documented in Performance
Curve Databases?
- The most rapidly accelerating performance occurs in technologies
where the greatest rates of miniaturization and
virtualization are occurring. Why is this fact
so little-known? What are its business, policy, and social implications?
- Can we develop unifying theories for the growth and future behavior
of performance curves today?
Join us to discuss these fascinating, future-important questions.
EDU is an international
community of scholars exploring evolutionary and
developmental processes in the universe and its subsystems. What
is predictable in complex systems? What is accelerating change?
How do we differentiate between predictable and unpredictable
processes in the universe? Join us!
1. Can ASF's President, John
Smart, and ASF's consulting arm, Acceleration
Associates, help your organization with keynotes,
talks, consulting, reports, seminars, or workshops? See our consulting
page.
2. Looking for a good wiki directory
of global foresight? Visit Global
Foresight.org, ASF's wiki directory of Networks,
Events, Programs, People, Orgs, and Resources for emerging global
foresight culture.
3. Want a credential in foresight
work? See Foresight
Graduate Programs - Global List, ASF's list of top
Primary and Secondary graduate programs in professional foresight.
Consider these if you want interdisciplinary training in thinking
about accelerating change.
4. Are you a foresight student,
educator, researcher, employer, alum, or advocate? Join the Foresight
Education and Research Network (FERN) at FERNweb.org,
a global community of foresight students, researchers, educators
(K-12, university, professional) and employers working on projects
to advance foresight education and research.
5. Interested in learning and advancing
the science and systems theory relevant to acceleration studies?
Visit the Evo Devo
Universe research community, an ASF-sponsored global
network of scholars exploring and critiquing evolutionary and
developmental hypotheses and models of change in the universe
and its subsystems.
6. Like to meet other foresighted
folks in your local community? Start a Future
Salon, on your own or with a co-moderator. Invite
interesting local thinkers to give free talks on future-oriented
topics once a month (or less), and go to dinner afterward for
more conversation. Grow your network of change- and innovation-oriented
friends!
