This program is tentative and subject to change.

Time Zone

The program is currently displayed in (GMT+08:00) Perth.

The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

This proposal envisions an ambitious but practicable transition to a collaborative scientific workflow where thousands of scientists and other stakeholders, assisted in the future by safely sandboxed AI agents, work together within a computational commons—which we call Fairground—where thousands of scientific artifacts are authored, collected, and maintained together in executable form in a manner that is FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), reproducible, and live by default.
