Cognitive Technology (CT) is the study of the integration between the human mind, the human body, and the material world. Its main concern is how human cognition develops along with the tools that people create to enhance it. In particular, the emphasis is on why, how and to what extent technologically constructed tools/aids:

• bear on dynamic changes in human perception,

• affect natural human communication, and

• are used to promote or control human adaptation.

At the heart of these investigations is the need to understand how the use of tools impacts on the processes by which an individual forms an integrated ecological continuum between the brain, the body and the environment, rather than how such use allows the individual to function more effectively within a group of interacting, but separate, individual agents. 

The key design issue in CT is: ‘How can we define, predict, and recognize the threshold at which technological enhancement of human ability and/or performance becomes a constraint on that very ability and/or performance?’

Those of you who came to our Perl Conferences in 1997 and 1998 know how wonderful it is to get together with your peers and spend up to four days immersed in a subject you love. Attendees of these events had the opportunity to see and hear the original developers, and to learn from them and other outstanding tutorial instructors about the latest and greatest innovations. 

We're expanding this year's gathering to include six parallel Open Source conferences under one roof: The Perl Conference 3.0, PLUS all-new conferences for Linux, Apache, Tcl/Tk, Python, and sendmail. 

Each conference is complete and self-contained, with two days of half and full-day tutorials, plus two days of technical conference presentations. If you're interested in only one of the subjects, you can be assured of a full conference and tutorial program and a critical mass of instructors and peers. But if you are interested in more than one of the programs (or want to see how the other half lives), you can attend sessions on other topics as well. 

In addition, there will be common events that will allow everyone at the six conferences to get together--mind-expanding keynotes, BOFs, and, of course, parties and a repeat of last year's popular film festival. 

Because of the larger program, we've moved to beautiful Monterey, California. The conferences will be held at the Monterey Conference Center from Saturday through Tuesday, August 21-24. Families and significant others are welcome to all evening events. So bring them along to enjoy the natural beauty and many attractions of Monterey and Carmel, while you enjoy taking your expertise to the next level.

Enterprise Development 2000 is the product showcase and conference for you if you manage enterprise application development. As a strategic technology manager, you need to see and touch the newest tools for your toughest assignments. Before you run the pilot project, you've already had to make choices. ED2000 offers personal attention and in-depth answers to your questions. Most importantly, it is a conference designed by the experts at Enterprise Development magazine to meet your information needs with a minimum of sales pitches and hype. 

The editors of Enterprise Development magazine carefully choose everything that appears at ED2000 because it's new, important, or something you absolutely must see. Unlike trade shows that attract tens of thousands of people and produce more hype than help, ED2000 attendees will number in the hundreds -- you'll get personal attention and have time to spend with our demonstrating companies. 

You will also have fun. Hosted by Kevin Strehlo and David Coursey, the conference will feature on-stage demonstrations, head-to-head shoot-out demonstrations, cross-examination of demonstrators by editors, analysts, and a Gong Show where bad demonstrations die fast. 

The conference includes new products -- many being shown for the first time at the event -- as well as updates to products just entering the market and updates of what's being done to bring old favorites into the new century.
