(submited by Bob) Computable Contracts This Article explains how and why firms are representing certain contractual obligations as computer data. terms. This Article explains how parties can effectively "translate" certain contractual criteria into a comparable set of computer-processable rules. This can have the effect of significantly reducing transaction costs associated with contract monitoring and compliance as compared to the traditional written-language contracting paradigm.

Head's up!  Dr. Peter Jansen: A possible collaborator with SENSORICA

medical device development steps

We (Tibi, Francois, and Jonathan) had a meeting with them, we are developing a stable relationship. The owner is member of the local network in photonics, so this relation is important from a social capital standpoint. They are kind of slow responding to our demands, probably because they don't yet see a big potential. They can collaborate with us for opto-mechanica assemblies, assemplied of photonics, optical fiber... Mostly for custom design. They buy most of the parts from other places, we can do that too, but they can design and male photonic devices.

Machines talking to machines No doubt that the Olympics will have a profound effect in shaping London's future. By the time the Games begin, for instance, it will have Europe's largest free WiFi zone, with the city's iconic red phone booths converted, fittingly, into hotspots. But another opportunity London landed earlier this month could have just as much impact, perhaps more. A company called Living PlanIt announced that it will begin testing its "Urban Operating System" in the Greenwich section of the city. What does that mean? Put simply, London would have its own operating system, much as your PC runs on Windows or your Mac runs on Apple's IOS. This ties into the latest hot buzz phrase, "the internet of things," which describes a world where machines talk to other machines. No human interaction required. So, for a city, this means sensors in buildings would connect to sensors in water treatment plants which would connect to sensors in stoplights. It would be one gigantic, computerized urban nervous system, which a lot of experts think is the only way cities can survive a future when they'll contain more than two out of every three people on Earth. Based on what sensors reveal about the location and movement of humans in a section of a city, for instance, buildings will automatically adjust their temperatures, streetlights will dim or brighten, water flow will increase or slow. Or, in the event of a disaster, emergency services would have real-time access to traffic data, trauma unit availability, building blueprints. And soon enough, our smart phones will be able to tap in to the Urban OS. So will our household appliances. This is not some 21st century analogue of the personal jet pack. The Urban OS is the driving force behind a smart city being built from the ground up in northern Portugal. Construction is scheduled to be completed in three years; eventually it will have about 150,000 residents. It will also have more than 100 million sen

McAfee and Brynjolfsson argue that in a race against machines, humans will lose. In their view, "the key to winning the race is not to compete against machines but to compete with machines." The question, then, will be whether humans can adapt at anywhere near the pace needed to keep up.

Sensorica mentioned at about 55 minutes mark (just after) - note that while many presenters not that interesting, Leif and Cliff at the beginning and again Leif and Cliff at the end made some interesting points, and in particular Leif Edvinsson very much in line with value networks thinking and alternative value flows - I think a fruitful interaction with Leif could result from inviting him into Sensorica

interview with Jerry Michalski, among other things advisor to my good friend's little brother's company, theBrain - jerry has his 'brain' online through their site

I funded these interviews on kickstarter, a good job was done, even if they didn't follow through with the planned kickstarter rewards
