What

Cosin is a chaotic event organised by chaostreffs of Switzerland, SheGeeks and trash.net. We intend the hold lectures, operate a network and have a lot of fun. Lectures are going to be in german and english (probably mostly german).

Cosin is going to be a relatively small (and cosy :) event; that said, international guests are very welcome.

Where

KuZeB in Bremgarten (it's Bremgarten in Aargau, _not_ the one near Bern).

Getting there

The location is very near to a train station. The number of parking lots is very limited, so please use the train to get there. You can find a connection at the homepage of SBB. On the KuZeB homepage, there is a plan of the location.

Rückblick und Ausblick

Chaos Singularity 2006 ist vorbei, lies im Rückblick was am Event geschehen ist.

Während des COSINs fand eine Zukunftsdiskussion statt.

Singularity

A singularity is a particular point in time and/or space, where everything concentrates (eg a black hole - a mass singularity). Chaos Singularity could therefore be a concentration of all chaos. A singularity can be something strange, unusual, peculiar or unique. Furthermore, singularity is the point in time, where the exponential growth in technology becomes infinite. At this point, all development happens extremely fast and almost completely chaotic, making any predictions about the following time impossible.

Cosin is a trigonometric function. It does not have any singularities. The value of cosin(2006) is approximately -0.093.
