VortexDNA to Present at WORLDCOMP'08

Christchurch, NZ May 15, 2008. The VortexDNA paper 'Mapping the Genome of Human Intention' has been accepted to the 2008 International Conference on Semantic Web and Web Services, part of WORLDCOMP'08: The 2008 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing.

The VortexDNA paper 'Mapping the Genome of Human Intention' has been accepted to the 2008 International Conference on Semantic Web and Web Services, part of WORLDCOMP'08: The 2008 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing.

The acceptance of the paper, and accompanying invitation to present at the conference, represents a great honour for authors Martin Burley and Branton Kenton-Dau, as only 27% of submitted papers were accepted.

'Mapping the Genome of Human Intention' is an exploration of the way that human behaviour is mathematically structured, consistent with complex systems such as economies or the weather. The hypothesis was validated against Google search results and shown to have predictive characteristics regarding the relevance of specific weblinks to specific individuals.

"Our involvement with WORLDCOMP is further demonstration of the scientific validity of the VortexDNA hypothesis: that human intention is governed by the mathematics of complex systems," says Kenton-Dau. "We are delighted to be able to exchange ideas with some of the most innovative thinkers in this area."

The conference puts VortexDNA in the company of such esteemed organisations as Harvard University's Computational Biology and Functional Genomics Laboratory, the Intelligent Data Exploration and Analysis Laboratory of the University of Texas at Austin, and UCLA's Horvath Laboratory.

The conference will take place in Las Vegas, USA, from July 14-17. Click here for the complete paper.

The data would be captured in 'black boxes', which would be installed upstream from ISPs and paid for by the government, thereby removing a major obstacle to implementation. Nonetheless, the plan, [...]
