Hello fellow sysadmins, The author of CFEngine will give a talk on Promise Theory called "Thinking in Promises in the Cyborg Age", June 20, 5 P.M. in Sunnyvale at LinkedIn Talk Description: The traditional way of talking about all aspects of human organization is through commands, requirements, and obligations. However, this tradition is not only presumptuous but actually inconsistent in a logical sense. As we embrace more of the realities of distributed systems for a global world, we need a new way of thinking about intent. In this talk, Mark Burgess explains the motivation for Promise Theory (the subject of his new book Thinking in Promises), and what this means for our technology and interactions in a world of humans and machines. Mark's a mind-blowing speaker. Highly recommended! Best, Aleksey Tsalolikhin Event organizer |
