I attended the 3rd International Workshop on Optical SuperComputing in Bertinoro, Italy, back in November. I don't get out so much these days, so I was pretty shocked when a total of 10 people showed up (or was it 11, you'd think I'd remember!) It's a shame, because there is some interesting stuff going on in this field...
In any case, despite a couple talks delivered remotely, the program turned out to be pretty thin (perhaps not surprising given the attendance). So I offered to give a presentation about my stuff, even though it's not strictly about optical. The talk, called Being Analog, was well received, so they asked me to write it up as a paper for Springer's Lecture Notes on Computer Science (which had a deal to do the proceedings). Uploaded it today: so here it is, hot off the presses, if you're interested.
