There are many different types of ancillary services necessary to keep the electric grid in balance; non-spinning reserves and regulation are among the most important. To date\, only pilot scale field tests using AutoDR for these types of ancillary services. Though AutoDR may not be suitable for all forms of ancillary services\, the lower installed cost of AutoDR indicates that it should be considered for use in the time domains and capacities for which it is applicable. By combining AutoDR with traditional gas fired thermal generation and battery storage technologies\, an optimal mix of generation\, AutoDR and storage should be considered.

Their primary duties have been to preserve the history of human-kind and provide evidence of the past. The means of communication over several thousand years have varied in format and genre\, from stone carvings to electronic records. And the concept of enduring value has evolved in close parallel with changes in historical interpretation. \n The scope of collection management activities with archival collections have likewise changed and broadened due to advances in technology. With the advent of desktop computing\, born-digital records have challenged the long-held precepts of recordkeeping and preservation. Digital imaging and conversion of traditional communication formats has allowed vast quantities of “hidden” materials to be shared with a wider and more diverse audience through the Internet. \n Various technological solutions have arisen to manage and make accessible archival collections\, some successful and some not. The presentation will review the major technological achievements to date and discuss current trends and future possibilities. This conversation will include a review of mass digitization efforts\, the application of Library of Congress MARC 21 and EAD XML\, open-source collection management tools like Archivist’s Toolkit\, current developments in Electronic Document/Records Management Systems (EDRMS)\, the potential of digital forensics\, as well as\, the role of digital curation\, the continuum model\, and other theoretical advances.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n The National Academy of Engineering hailed the electric power grid as the 20th century’s engineering innovation most beneficial to our civilization. A 21st century electric system is essential to America’s ability to lead the world and create jobs in the clean-energy economy of the future. Specifically\, California is embarking on an effort to further modernize its electric grid\, often referred to as developing a Smart Grid\, in order to support many of California’s overall energy and sustainability policies\, including Governor Brown’s goal to install 12\,000 MW of renewable distributed generation by 2020. The California electric investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have recently developed Smart Grid Deployment Plans\, which outline their grid modernization visions. At the national level\, there is notable ongoing work related to interoperability and other Smart Grid standards\, such as by the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) and the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE). \n By linking information technologies with the electric power grid\, the Smart Grid promises many benefits\, including increased energy efficiency\, reduced carbon emissions\, and improved power reliability. Yet there are also many technical challenges to be overcome\, particularly in the areas of electric reliability and resiliency\, power quality\, and workforce and public safety. There is an urgent need and a strong demand for adequately trained electric power and energy engineers in both traditional power engineering and information technology. There is also an opportunity for the University of California to fulfill an important role to provide a holistic systems engineering vision to solve industry challenges and to cost-effectively build California’s 21st century electric power grid.

The content industry has found itself at loggerheads with the digital technology industry\, and both sides have maintained that the implications of their conflict are fundamental: depending on whom one believes\, either the Internet or the creative economy may face destruction. Fierce as it has been\, the debate has been both too narrow and too shallow. In fact\, these contentions need to be seen as the latest manifestations of a long-term historical process that has seen policing and “piracy” pitted against each other. The place where their conflict has really occurred\, moreover\, is not in law and policy but in technology and everyday life. As a result\, although it remains largely invisible to the public\, this conflict has substantially shaped many of the everyday practices that constitute our culture of information. A reconciliation of the information society and the good society will therefore depend on our ability not just to affect legislation like SOPA\, but to understand the history that lies behind such laws and drives them forward. \n Adrian Johns is Allan Grant Maclear Professor in the Department of History at the University of Chicago\, where he also chairs the graduate program in Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science. Prior to working at Chicago he was educated at Cambridge University and taught at Cambridge\, Caltech\, and UCSD. He is the author of “The Nature of the Book: Print and Knowledge in the Making” (1998)\, “Piracy: The Intellectual Property Wars from Gutenberg to Gates” (2009)\, and “Death of a Pirate: British Radio and the Making of the Information Age” (2010). He is currently at work on a study of the industry that has arisen to uphold information and intellectual property worldwide. \n The History and Theory of New Media series is produced by the Berkeley Center for New Media with support from CITRIS (The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society). This lecture is co-sponsored with the Katharine Bixby Hotchkis Chair in English.

Between 1990 and 1995\, Japan already established Internet access for universities and research centers\, which began the foundational structure towards an information society. However\, despite this advancement in information technology and the rapid increase of individual Internet users through the launching of Windows 95\, IT implementation on the industry and administrative organization levels fell gravely behind by the year 2000. \n To break through the slump\, the IT Strategic Headquarters was established within the Cabinet Office\, and the government and the private sector collaborated to promote the \n . As a result\, by 2005 Japan boasted the world’s leading broadband network and even leaped into the implementation of e-commerce and trading. \n With these IT infrastructures in place\, it was expected for information technology to quickly follow and spread through all aspects of society. However\, due to the conservative nature of the medical\, educational and administrative organizations\, Japan was unable to keep up with continuing changes\, finding itself falling behind again over the subsequent five years. \n In this lecture\, Murai will examine these successes and failures of Japan’s IT strategy\, and discuss what new plans and goals to set based on these past experiences and lessons. \n —————- \n Jun Murai\, Ph.D. \n Dean/Professor\, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies\, Keio University \n Founder of WIDE Project \n Chair of AI3 Project \n Chair of SOI Asia Project \n Born in March 1955 in Tokyo. \n Graduated Keio University in 1979\, Department of Mathematics\, Faculty of Science and Technology. \n He received M.S. for Computer Science from Keio University in 1981\, and received his Ph.D. in Computer Science\, Keio University in 1987. \n Specialized in computer science\, computer network and computer communication. \n He is currently the Dean\, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies\, Keio University since October 2009. \n Former director of WIDE project from 1988-2010.3 \n Former Vice-President of Keio University from May 2005 to May 2009. \n He was an Executive Director of the Keio Research Institute at SFC\, Keio University from 1999 to 2005. \n He is appointed as one of the advisory member of IT Strategy Headquarters established within the Cabinet of Japan from August 2000 to July 2009\, and the Information Security Policy Council established within the Cabinet of Japan since May 2005\, a member of Science Council of Japan from October 2005. \n A visiting professor at Tsinghua University\, Beijing since September 2007. \n His recent publications include “Explorers! of the Wonderful Internet”\, Tarojirosha Editus Co.\, Ltd.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n The Western Cooling Efficiency Center was started about 5 years ago as the cornerstone of the Energy Efficiency Center at the University of California at Davis. The mission of the center is to effect change in the energy performance of cooling systems in hot dry climates like California\, in particular on the peak electricity demand associated with said cooling. This seminar will provide an overview of various research projects and initiatives at the WCEC. As rooftop packaged HVAC systems (RTUs) perform a large fraction of cooling and heating of non-residential buildings\, they were one of the first targets for Center. The seminar will cover the rationale and technical basis for the Western Cooling Challenge (WCC)\, which provides energy performance targets that are roughly 50% better than Department of Energy standards. Results of laboratory and field tests on WCC equipment will be presented\, as will a related initiative to improve the performance of RTUs that are not old enough to replace. Research topics that will be covered include recent work on the issues associated with small-scale\, on-site water use within cooling systems\, as well as two new research projects at the center: a) the use of encapsulated phase change materials in hydronic distribution systems\, and b) the application of an aerosol based technology for sealing leaks in building envelopes.

Like personal computers of 30 years ago\, the personal robotics industry will take off and become an economic engine. But robotics is a complex\, multidisciplinary field\, and fielding successful applications requires expertise ranging from hardware (mechanical and electrical) to social science. By working together on an open source software platform\, we can accelerate progress in the field and more quickly field successful applications. Willow Garage has partnered with Stanford University and many other top robotics laboratories around the world to create such an open source code base. The robot operating system\, ROS\, is quickly becoming the de facto platform for robotics research. I will argue that most if not all robotics companies should join the ROS bandwagon\, as a way to move the entire industry forward quickly.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1066 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Today lighting accounts for about 20% of the worldwide electricity consumption. Household lighting\, commercial lighting\, and street lighting are responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions. Developments of new light emitting diodes (LED) can reduce the electricity consumption dedicated to lighting considerably. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) can become the perfect energy efficient substitute for the attractive but inefficient incandescent and halogen lighting. No other lighting technology can match the quality\, efficiency\, and lifetime of LED lighting. \n In contrast to incandescent bulbs that create light and heat from filaments\, LEDs convert electricity with high efficiency directly into visible light. However\, there are a number of technical problems such as low color rendering that have to be solved before LED lighting will make a complete breakthrough. The efficiency of LED’s has doubled every third year and LED’s will within the near future become more energy efficient than most efficient conventional lighting sources. In addition to the energy savings\, LED’s have a number of other advantages: small and compact emitters with high flux\, they are robust\, no emission of UV- or IR- radiation when used for visible illumination\, and a long lifetime (20.000 – 100.000 hours) provided proper thermal management. In the talk I will review the basic physics of LEDs and I will discuss the new possibilities that LEDs offer.Finally\, I will discuss a number of new applications of LEDs where energy savings can be obtained.

But data is only of value if you can extract insight from it – insights that let you solve your challenges\, improve your processes\, attract new clients\, and be more nimble in your business. There is a real opportunity to harness this data and gain insight to improve our world – but to do so\, we must do more than capture information. We must correlate and align information across sources\, extract meaning from it\, and leverage that meaning to create value. This talk will describe some of the challenges of capturing\, integrating\, and analyzing information and some of the progress that has been made in terms of runtimes and tools to support these tasks\, as well as some ongoing research in this space. We will highlight some successful applications of these technologies in a variety of fields\, and close with a proposal to work together to advance the state of the art in these technologies and in their application. \n Bio: \n Laura Haas is an IBM Fellow\, and Director of IBM Research’s new Institute for Massive Data\, Analytics and Modeling; she also serves as a “catalyst” for ambitious research across IBM’s worldwide research labs.

Rheingold proposes that our intention should be to teach ourselves how to teach ourselves online\, and to share what we learn. He will show how the use of social media in courses he has taught about social media issues led him to co-redesign his curriculum\, which led to more active participation by students in co-teaching the course. \n Rheingold is an independent scholar and currently a guest lecturer at Stanford’s Department of Communication. A writer and designer\, he was among the first wave of creative thinkers who saw\, in computers and then in the Internet\, a way to form powerful new communities. \n His 2002 book “Smart Mobs”\, which presaged Web 2.0 in predicting collaborative ventures like Wikipedia\, was the outgrowth of decades spent studying and living life online. An early and active member of the Well (he wrote about it in “The Virtual Community”)\, he went on to co-found HotWired and Electric Minds\, two groundbreaking web communities\, in the mid-1990s. Now active in Second Life\, he teaches\, writes and consults on social networking. His latest passion: teaching and workshopping participatory media literacy\, to make sure we all know how to read and make the new media that we’re all creating together. \n This lecture is presented by UC’s Berkeley Center for New Media with support from the Regents’ Professorships and Lectureships Program. Co-sponsored by UC Berkeley School of Information.

All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Power and energy management\, and more recently environmental sustainability\, are emerging as central issues in systems design. The next order-of-magnitude improvements in these areas will come from rethinking how we approach and optimize energy efficiency — “holistically” across traditional design boundaries. This talk will discuss such optimizations from the data-centric data center project at HP Labs\, specifically focusing on two examples — “dematerialized datacenters” and “nanostores”. These designs\, cross-cutting the sustainability\, technology\, architecture\, and software communities\, can achieve significant improvements in energy efficiency (10X-50X). \n Bio: Partha Ranganathan is a Fellow at Hewlett Packard Labs where he currently leads a large initiative on future data-centric data centers. His research interests are in systems architecture and manageability\, energy-efficiency\, and systems modeling and evaluation. He has done extensive work in these areas including key contributions around energy-aware user interfaces\, heterogeneous multi-core processors\, power capping and power-aware server designs\, federated enterprise power management\, energy modeling and benchmarking\, disaggregated blade server architectures\, and most recently\, storage hierarchy and systems redesign for non-volatile memory. He was also one of the primary developers of the publicly distributed Rice Simulator for ILP Multiprocessors (RSIM). Dr. Ranganathan’s work has led to several commercial products and has been featured in various venues including the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Business Week\, San Francisco Chronicle\, Times of India\, Slashdot\, Youtube\, and Tom’s hardware guide. Dr. Ranganathan has been named one of the world’s top young innovators by MIT Technology Review\, and has been recognized with several other awards including Rice University’s Outstanding Young Engineering Alumni award. Dr. Ranganathan received his B.Tech degree from the Indian Institute of Technology\, Madras and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Rice University\, Houston.

In this talk I’ll describe how this right to hear has\, in part\, historically and implicitly underpinned the U.S. press’s claims to autonomy and\, more fundamentally\, models of democratic freedom. I’ll trace how this right appears in contemporary networked news production\, and show how three networked news organizations have used Application Programming Interfaces to simultaneously listen to and distance themselves from their readers. A modern public right to hear — and thus the press’s claims to autonomy — depends\, in part\, upon networked technologies and practices that mediate among different groups and professions struggling for identity and legitimacy through what Bowker and Star (1999) call “boundary infrastructures.” It is through these technosocial systems — powerful yet often invisible infrastructures that I call “newsware” — that the contemporary\, institutional press signals how it is willing to listen to\, with\, and for publics.
