Green G A Global Congress on the Future and Realization of Biologically based and Biologically Derived Information Technologies
Abstract
Traditional telecommunications and information technologies are expensive, ugly, unsustainably proliferating, and often unavailablein many parts of the world. Existing and new communication pathways can be engineered into plants to harness short and long-range plant-to-plant communication as the basis for a new communications and information network, #Green-G#. Across the Green-G network, local ecosystems can be designed for underground information networks (using fungal hyphal networks as physical cables), and these local networks can be wirelessly linked with other remote networks via volatile organic compound communication from plants-to-plants. Information #farms# can be realized, in which both processing and storage are handled. We propose to host a global congress on the concept of Green-G, which gathers research on fundamental sciences, applied research, industrial, environmental, ecological, and philosophical views. The event will host researchers, policy makers, disruptors, entrepreneurs, students, educators, and others from academia, industry, government and non-profit organizations. The congress will include research presentations, team-building events, androad-mapping groups. A position paper on the topic will be prepared and published in a reputable journal with broad dissemination, aiming to build awareness for both the potential technological advances that GreenG realization could bring and the need to shape societies in sync with nature. Intelligence Gathering, Communications, and Data Systems are at the core of every Navy and Marine Corpsoperation, need and capabilities. Engineering plants and ecosystems could be developed as the next generation of intelligence gathering, storing, and sensing platforms for distributed surveillance and communications.
