The collective noun for magpies is a tittering which is slightly less scary than their close relatives a murder of magpies. It was one of the comments I made in my closing session at IRHASS13. Now I have been at all five IRHASS events and for the last three my role has been to provide an […]
An exciting week in Singapore with a series of events including IRAHSS 2013 all held in the Raffles City Convention Centre. That also means an upgraded corner room in the Fairmont Hotel which also has my second favourite swimming pool of any hotel in the world. Tuesday and Wednesday I have the job of summarising […]
I enjoyed my keynote at State of the Net 2013 here in Trieste, mind you I enjoyed it last year as well. A chance to talk about big issues in society and argue for humans at the front, humans at the end which is one of my current slogans for the goal of SenseMaker®. Using technology to […]
I started yesterday with a keynote address to the BCS Agile group. I'd accepted the booking some time ago on condition that I was on first so that I could get to Cardiff in time for certain important events but it made for a packed morning. I only got back from Amsterdam late on Friday […]
The conference was much improved today. The opening keynote, Dan North did a lot of context setting, qualifying recommendations with statements about in these circumstances and the like. Bob Marshall, back on his more familiar Right-shifting material was much improved over the previous day. Benjamin (please do not call me Ben) Mitchell was excellent at pointing to […]
Today was my tuning in day to the Scandinavian Developer's Conference and a chance to meet up with some old friends and be ignored by some old self-appointed foes! The main lecture theatre was only a quarter full even with all streams assembled for the keynote at the start of the day and it was […]
I realised today that an awful lot of the best (or at least the classic) literature (which is not the same thing as stories) comes from the Edwardian period. Winnie the Pooh, Wind in the Willows, Just William, The Jungle Book, The Hobbit and many others. Of course this may just be my age but […]
I gave a keynote address at LSSC11 this morning looking at the application of complexity theory to software design. I had originally planned a fairly basic 101 lecture on Cognitive Complexity (my name for the fusion of cognitive science and complex adaptive systems theory that I advocate). However I had a chance to tune into […]
Well you can’t really fault to location (morning view from my room shown) and the company is interesting, an eclectic mix of academics and academic/practitioners. The workshop title is Influencing the Causality of Change in Complex Socio-technical Systems, which is a real mixture of words, concepts and intellectual traditions. It also became clear that that […]
