The (Gradual) Return of Automating Invention
This blog has been dormant for quite a while as I have been writing a book on automating invention, currently slated to be published by Stanford University Press in the spring of 2009. I will begin posting again soon, picking up the pace -- and possibly redesigning the site itself -- later this year.
Stay tuned!

Tutorials on AutomatingInvention.com
From time to time I will post tutorials on this site about relevant topics. Unlike a site about a specific field -- such as contract law or programming in C++ -- this site is interdisciplinary, cutting across the fields of law, computer science, philosophy, and economics, to name a few. Different readers come to this site with different backgrounds and speaking different languages.
Although I attempt to make this site understandable to as broad an audience as possible, sometimes providing links and a few sentences of background information just isn't enough. Therefore, I will post separate tutorials on important recurring topics. Each tutorial will have a primary category of Tutorials and a secondary category matching the topic of the tutorial. As a result, you will always be able to view all existing tutorials by viewing the Tutorials category.
If there is any topic for which you would like a tutorial to be posted, please let me know.

Welcome to AutomatingInvention.com
Welcome to the Automating Invention blog, where I will explore the social implications of computer-automated invention. I've posted a more detailed description of this site here. If you have any questions or comments about the site, either post them in response to individual entries or send me an email.
