I'm sitting in the Everbright Hotel in Shanghai listening to Stephen Lu of USC talk about Functional Innovation. He hasn't referenced Searle explicitly, but his foundation for his talk is the whole infrastructure of Searle's argument on social reality. Not a bad lineup for a small conference. Nam Suh talked about axiomatic design yesterday, and Ralph Keeney talked about decision tradeoffs today. I'm on the schedule tomorrow to talk about computational innovation and invention. Lots of presentations and papers on collaborative systems and quite a few on evolutionary computations.
