This talk introduced the general topic of new thought models for
programmability and configurability.  A main suggestion was to focus on
application behaviours rather than architectures, and thus on adaptability
rather than programmability.  This would build on the success of research into 
reconfigurable architectures, to move to a focus on the needs of particular
problem instances within broad application domains.  Using
hyper-programmability, or some alternative mechanism, each instance can be
mapped to its own tailored architecture.  Downstream from this, further
future research areas were discussed.  These included: making a big push
towards a "third way" of system design that is neither hardware nor
software like; devising apt computational models and theories of
programming; systematised application and environment specificity; and
harnessing programmability within future technologies in a natural manner.  A
major means of facilitating this future vision will be through education,
especially of young people as yet unversed in first and/or second way
thinking.
