■ Conference management system: update 2010
Last year I made a survey about free conference management system. At that time, I thought that OCS was the best choice.
I set up OCS for NIPS-SSC last year and tested it for a while. But I decided that I did not use it because nobody other than myself cannot handle it. Another, but related, reason is that it is too complicated - it is aimed for multiple conferences. My system should be simpler.
Now I searched the web again and found that most of the systems are now web-service based. It is reasonable. You do not have to take care of it.
But I still like a system that can be maintained on my web server - I can modify it just like my blog.
Aside from OCS, a new version of OpenConf (ver.3.5) can be one of the candidates. I found that OpenConf became more 'open' -- Previously, you have to send email to the author to get the code. But now it is downloadable from the web. You can find here some complains about the older version of OpenConf. Seems like it was an old-fashioned system. But maybe better than before. And it is simpler than OCS. I will test it.
Below is the summary of my survey this time. Largely overlapped with my previous entry.
------------------------------ OpenConf * Developed using the PHP scripting language and MySQL database, * available for installation on your server * or as a managed hosting service from a state-of-the-art data center. ------------------------------ ConfMaster * provided as a service * ask for conditions by email * Used in ASSC13 and ASSC14 ------------------------------ Continue 2.0 * a free Web application * a new, AJAX-based architecture * completely free of cost, including hosting and support ------------------------------ EasyChair * a free conference management system * All installations are hosted at the server www.easychair.org ------------------------------ ConfTool * a Web-based event management system * For smaller, non-commercial events we offer a free license on request. ------------------------------ Conference Online-Management System (COMS) * No installation, you only need Internet access and a web browser * Event with up to 100 participants 200 EUR * Event with up to 400 participants 340 EUR ------------------------------ Confious * as a web service * NonFree? ------------------------------

■ Second-person perspective toward consciousness
In "I and Thou" Martin Buber wrote that
"the world as experience belongs to the basic word I-It. The basic word I-You establishes the world of relation." (Martin Buber, I and Thou, Translated by Walter Kaufmann. (New York: Scribner’s, 1970), p. 56)
Yes, I-It contains what we calls "first-person perspective"(subjective / phenomenological) and "third person perspective"(objective / scientific). The idea of I-You relationship led me to think about SECOND-person perspective, or we would call it EXISTENTIAL perspective.
I am not fully devoted to social neuroscience but am a proponent of the idea that social relation precedes phenomenal world. At this level, emotion, reward, goal-directedness etc. can be regarded as a SOURCE of consciousness - which is somewhat Buddhistic view (*). This idea may also change the realm of what is experience and what is relation.
Thinking about the existential perspective more extensively may be the way to extend sensorimotor view of consciousness to reconcile with the view of people who believe that nonhuman animal does not have consciousness. For them, sensorimotor view seems to be an explanation of PROTO-consciousness.
