Session 19. Future SETI: Technologies, Techniques, and Strategies

The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Modern history of the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence is reviewed. The history of radio searches is discussed, as well as the major advances that have occurred in radio searches and prospects for new instruments and search strategies. Recent recognition that searches for optical and infrared signals make sense, and the reasons for this are described, as well as the equipment and speci...

Strategies for the Future of Medicine in Iran Based on a Scenario Planning

Background: The rapid and increasing growth of technology in the artificial intelligence era and its impact on fundamentals changes in the development of science including biomedicine and health presents a need for the future studies in medical sciences. This project is striving to provide a desirable model based on authentic forecasting models in order to clarify the probable and uncertain fut...

Galactic Gradients, Postbiological Evolution and the Apparent Failure of SETI

Motivated by recent developments impacting our view of Fermi’s paradox (the absence of extraterrestrials and their manifestations from our past light cone), we suggest a reassessment of the problem itself, as well as of strategies employed by SETI projects so far. The need for such reassessment is fueled not only by the failure of SETI thus far, but also by great advances recently made in astro...

Metacognitive (Rending) Strategies Across Languages and Techniques

A Study on SETI@home Distributed Network

SETI@home is a widely recognized as one of the most successful implementations of distributed computing in science and industry today. Its success can be traced to an innovative application of distributed computing techniques that allows millions of volunteers worldwide to donate their desktop computers’ otherwise idle CPU time to the pursuit of science. The SETI@home solution creates processin...
