SUMMARY:Robots and New Media\, Apr 4
DESCRIPTION:A new medium is emerging: robots. \nFor decades robots have been tasked to diligently perform a range of roles and duties within industrial manufacturing. But recent trends\, motivated in part by high-performance\, low-cost hardware\, software\, and networks have given rise to a new range of more social\, personal\, expressive\, nurturing\, and emotional robotic platforms and applications. Along with the opportunities these robots provide\, their increasing prevalence provokes unheard of legal and ethical dilemmas. \nThrough a two day symposium of expert practitioner panels ranging from topics as diverse as the military applications of robots to the influence of robotic technologies on art and civil rights movements\, we will deconstruct\, debate\, and explore robots as new media. \nFor information on the schedule and registration\, visit http://robotsandnewmedia.com/ \nSponsored by Berkeley Center for New Media\, The Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities\, CITRIS\, and Kingdom of the Netherlands. \n#nwmediarobots

SUMMARY:Personalizing Cancer Diagnostics Using Microfluidics\, Apr 4
DESCRIPTION:Cancer therapy has a critical unmet need\, which is to identify the best therapy for individual cancer patients.  \nThere are currently over 250 FDA-approved drugs for cancer chemotherapy. Most of these were identified and are applied empirically\, either alone or in combination\, to treat cancer. Drug choice is guided largely by a) tumor type\, location and stage\, and b) efficacy of therapy as assessed in prior clinical trials using groups of patients. The response of individual patients to these ‘standard-of-care’ therapies often varies widely. Ineffective therapies extract an enormous toll on individual patients and their families as well as on the health care system.  \nA more rational and cost-effective way to improve cancer therapy\, maximize the likelihood of response or cure\, and minimize toxicity\, would be to assess tumor response to chemotherapeutic agents before starting therapy.  \nWe have developed a multiplexed microfluidic assay designed to identify the best therapy for individual cancer patients. This assay utilizes intact tissue in order to rapidly predict tumor chemosensitivity to a large panel of drugs prior to initiation of therapy. The assay complements current genetic characterizations of tumor variation between individuals and should greatly speed up the testing of new drugs in research settings.  \nI will demonstrate how bringing these microfluidic devices into the clinic will greatly enabled by the use of stereolithography\, a form of 3D printing.

SUMMARY:An Operating System Architecture for CyberPhysical Systems in Buildings and Grids\, Apr 9
DESCRIPTION:Today’s networks allow us to connect almost everybody and\, increasingly\, to connect almost every thing of value. This new tier of the Internet connects directly to the physical world\, allowing a real-world web of physical information to stream into and out of the information processing enterprise\, driving decision making and action.   Created to understand the ecophysiology of natural systems\, this technology is finding many applications in the quest to improve the sustainability of electric grids and the built environment.  In this talk\, we explore developments toward an operating system archtecture for buildings – when in the US we spend 90% of our time\, over 70% of our electrical energy\, and nearly 50% of our GHG emissions – in the context of a responsive grid.   We examine how pervasive monitoring serves to identify waste and opportunities for energy efficiency; how diverse sources of physical information can be homogenized to enable an innovative application ecosystem; and how a building operating system and services can provide a foundation for advanced control techniques that operate in concert with external factors\, such as energy availability and weather\, and for personalized environmental conditioning.  To be quaint\, “there’s a building app for that.”   This work touches several i4energy projects as we come together around the challenge of creating sustainable energy networks. \nBio\nDavid Culler is a Professor and Chair of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences\, and Faculty Director of i4energy at the University of California\, Berkeley.  Professor Culler received his B.A. from U.C. Berkeley in 1980\, and M.S. and Ph.D. from MIT in 1985 and 1989.  He has been on the faculty at Berkeley since 1989\, where he holds the Howard Friesen Chair.  He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, an ACM Fellow\, an IEEE Fellow and was selected for the 2013 Okawa Prize\, ACMs Sigmod Outstanding Achievement Award\, Scientific American’s ‘Top 50 Researchers’\, and Technology Review’s ’10 Technologies that Will Change the World’.  He has received Test-of-Time awards from NSDI\, SIGCOMM\, PLDI\, HPDC\, and ISCA. He received the NSF Presidential Young Investigators award in 1990 and the NSF Presidential Faculty Fellowship in 1992.  He was the Principal Investigator of the DARPA Network Embedded Systems Technology project that created the open platform for wireless sensor networks based on TinyOS\, and was co-founder and CTO of Arch Rock Corporation and the founding Director of Intel Research\, Berkeley.  He has done seminal work on networks of small\, embedded wireless devices\, planetary-scale internet services\, parallel computer architecture\, parallel programming languages\, and high performance communication\, and including TinyOS\, PlanetLab\, Networks of Workstations (NOW)\, and Active Messages. He has served on Technical Advisory Boards for several companies\, including People Power\, Inktomi\, ExpertCity (now CITRIX on-line)\, and DoCoMo USA.  He is currently focused on utilizing information technology to address the energy problem and is co-PI on the NSF CyberPhysical Systems projects LoCal and ActionWebs and PI on Software Defined Buildings.\n–\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:Reinvent Growth without Pollution\, Apr 10
DESCRIPTION:UC Berkeley’s Energy and Resources Group and the Center for South Asia Studies are proud to present the 20th Annual Lecture on Energy and the Environment by Indian environmentalist\, political activist\, and recipient of the 2005 Stockholm World Water Prize\, Sunita Narain \nIndia is facing a double burden of environmental problems — of the poor and of the rich. So\, on one hand\, its forests are under threat but on the other hand\, its rivers are increasingly polluted by sewage and industrial waste and cities are choked under toxins from the spit of its vehicles. All efforts seem pointless as the scale of the problem is enormous and palliative actions do not seem to work. So\, what will work? Can India reinvent its way to growth without pollution? Are there lessons in this for the rest of the world? What can we learn from the environmentalism of the poor to face the challenge of climate change that is threatening the world as we know it. \nAbout Sunita Narain \nNamed one of the world’s  Top 100 Public Intellectuals on Earth three times by the U.S. journal\, Foreign Policy\, and awarded the 2005 Stockholm World Water Prize\, Sunita Narain is an Indian environmentalist and political activist as well as a major proponent of the Green concept of sustainable development. \nNarain has been with the India-based Centre for Science and Environment since 1982. She is currently the director of the Centre and the director of the Society for Environmental Communications and publisher of the fortnightly magazine\, Down To Earth. Narain started working with with CSE in 1982\, and took over the organsiation and the magazine in 2001\, after the death of Founder Editor Anil Aggarwal. Under CSE\, Narain has worked in a various fields related to environment. Be it forest development\, climate change\, or water resources; she has researched\, written about and worked on location for these issues. \nWhat however caught the attention of the entire world\, was the claim of the CSE that cola giants like Pepsi and Coke use contaminated\, pesticide-ridden water in the drinks that they make and distribute in India. While the CSE provided hard proof twice over for their findings\, the companies denied it and the government refused to do anything\, and instead launched an enquiry on CSE to check if their findings had any value. \nApart from Green awards\, Narain has been featured by Time magazine as one of India’s most influential people\, and in 2005 and again in 2008 and 2009 she was included by Foreign Policy as one of the Top 100 public intellectuals on earth. In 2005 she was awarded the Padma Shri by the Indian government. In 2005\, she received the  Stockholm World Water Prize  for work on rainwater harvesting and for its policy influence in building paradigms for community based water management. \nFrom Time Magazine’s 15 Most Influential Indians: Environmentalists have a lot to complain about in India and Sunita Narain does her fair share. She can be acerbic and populist but there’s no doubting that she draws attention to issues that need it. The Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)\, which she heads\, monitors air pollution levels around India\, studies the effects of climate change and even runs training courses that show businesspeople and students how to lead greener lives. But it is her criticism of international soft drink makers Coca-Cola and PepsiCo that has won Narain most attention. Over the past few years the CSE has regularly alleged that soft drinks sold in India contain high level of pesticides — a charge both Coke and Pepsi reject. Narain says her main goal is not to hurt companies but to spur the government to tighten regulations. But a little publicity goes a long way: her pesticide charges spurred some Indian states to ban the sales of Coke and Pepsi last year. Now\, she’s taking on river polluters. \nRead more about Sunita Narain HERE. \nThis talk is presented under the aegis of Urban WASH\, the Center for South Asia Studies’ urban water initiative designed to address the urgent need of urban water and sanitation issues in South Asia. \nLike us on FACEBOOK\nFollow us on TWITTER \nPARKING INFORMATION\nPlease note that parking in not always easily available in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:In Drought and Deluge: How Applied Hydroinformatics are Becoming Standard Operating Data for All Californians\, Apr 16
DESCRIPTION:A central problem for all Californians is that there is often not enough water or too much. While the Mediterranean climate of cool wet winters and dry warm summers creates highly livable environments\, inter- and intra-annual variation in precipitation has necessitated the development of vast engineering works to divert\, capture\, store\, transport\, and deliver water from regions of abundance to regions of scarcity. This human driven transformation of California’s environment has resulted in the 10th largest global economy. It has also resulted in acute issues in environmental sustainability that must be addressed as we hurtle toward meeting the water and food security demands of 50 million Californians and an interdependent agricultural trade system. \nIncreasingly all Californians have become water managers as the state wrestles with persistent drought and unreconciled competing demands for scarce water resources. To help inform these water management decisions\, the emerging field of hydroinformatics is being used to improve underlying information stores about water – its collection\, storage\, synthesis and dissemination. This talk will explore how improved decision making and resource management are emerging from synthesized water data. Examples include “hydrolapse videography” – a digital\, time-encoded coupling of hydrologic information records with corresponding timelapse imagery – as a means to provide river managers a rich\, but intelligible\, data stream that is both qualitative and quantitative in nature. \nBiography: \nJoshua Viers joined the CITRIS leadership as the director at UC Merced in August 2013. Prior to this\, Dr. Viers has been serving in a research capacity at UC Davis for 10 years since receiving his Ph.D. in Ecology there\, most recently as Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. Before that he received his B.S. in International Agricultural Development from UC Davis\, where he received an Outstanding Performance Citation. He has also served in leadership roles in the Center for Watershed Sciences\, currently as Executive Associate Director\, on the UCD Graduate Education Committee\, and has chaired the International Programs Committee for the College of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences. \nDr. Viers currently has over $6M in active grants and supports a research team of nearly 30 students\, postdocs\, and staff with the support of sponsors including the Nature Conservancy\, California Energy Commission\, CALFED Ecological Restoration Program\, Caltrans\, North Coast Water Quality Control Board\, US Bureau of Land Management\, USDA\, US Fish and Wildlife Service\, and the US Forest Service. Josh developed and led the UC Extension program in GIS for Watershed Analysis (180+ hours of instruction\, 300+ students)\, and taught undergraduate courses in environmental data analysis and global water resources\, and has been involved in mentoring graduate students.\n———–\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:CEE's Spring Distinguished Lecture with Armen Der Kiureghian\, Apr 17
DESCRIPTION:Post‐Hazard learning\, risk assessment and decision‐making for infrastructure systems \nArmen Der Kiureghian\nDepartment of Civil & Environmental Engineering\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley \nRobust performance and rapid recovery of infrastructure systems in the immediate aftermath of a major hazard are crucial for mitigating losses and assuring well‐being of communities. Infrastructures\, such as transportation and communication networks and power\, water and gas distribution systems\, are especially vulnerable to natural and man‐made hazards due to their spatially distributed exposure\, interdependence between components\, and multiplicity of failure modes. In this lecture\, I will use the Bayesian network methodology to model the hazard and the infrastructure system and to process information gained from sensors\, and I will use influence diagrams to make decisions on operational levels of system components and to prioritize component inspections. An application to a hypothetical model of the California high‐speed rail system in the aftermath of an earthquake in the Bay Area will demonstrate the main ideas of the approach.

SUMMARY:California in Drought\, Apr 18
DESCRIPTION:California is experiencing its worst drought in recorded history\, but droughts are not new to California. Over the past 150 years\, during which California’s water infrastructure and its expectations for water supply developed\, may have actually been a wet anomaly in California’s deeper history of aridity. Adding climate change-induced variability\, drought will be part of the ‘new normal’ for California. Join us for panel discussions speakers discussing the state of the drought and how to address these issues.

SUMMARY:TRUST Security Seminar\, Apr 24
DESCRIPTION:Two decades of analysis have produced a rich set of insights as to how the law should apply to the Internet’s peculiar characteristics. But\, in the meantime\, technology has not stood still. The same public and private institutions that developed the Internet\, from the armed forces to search engines\, have initiated a significant shift toward robotics and artificial intelligence.  \nThis article is the first to examine what the introduction of a new\, equally transformative technology means for cyberlaw (and law in general). Robotics has a different set of essential qualities than the Internet and\, accordingly\, will raise distinct issues of law and policy. Robotics combines\, for the first time\, the promiscuity of data with the capacity to do physical harm; robotic systems accomplish tasks in ways that cannot be anticipated in advance; and robots increasingly blur the line between person and instrument. \nCyberlaw can and should evolve to meet these challenges. Cyberlaw is interested\, for instance\, in how people are hardwired to think of going online as entering a “place\,” and in the ways software constrains human behavior. The new cyberlaw will consider how we are hardwired to think of anthropomorphic machines as though they were social\, and ponder the ways institutions and jurists can manage the behavior of software. Ultimately the methods and norms of cyberlaw — particularly its commitments to interdisciplinary pragmatism — will prove crucial in integrating robotics\, and perhaps whatever technology follows. \nRyan Calo researches the intersection of law and emerging technology\, with an emphasis on robotics and the Internet. His work on drones\, driverless cars\, privacy\, and other topics has appeared in law reviews and major news outlets\, including the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, and NPR. Professor Calo has also testified before the full Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate. \nProfessor Calo previously served as a director at the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society (CIS) where he remains an Affiliate Scholar. He also worked as an associate in the Washington\, D.C. office of Covington & Burling LLP and clerked for the Honorable R. Guy Cole on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. \nProfessor Calo serves on numerous advisory boards\, including the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)\, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)\, the Future of Privacy Forum\, and National Robotics Week. Professor Calo co-chairs the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence committee of the American Bar Association and is a member of the Executive Committee of the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) Section on Internet and Computer Law.

SUMMARY:Bone Flute to Auto-Tune: A Conference on Music and Technology in History\, Theory and Practice\, Apr 24-26
DESCRIPTION:What shapes our music technologies? How do our technologies shape our musical practices and thought? An exciting body of scholarship has addressed such questions for sound recording\, electronic instruments and digital media\, illuminating the development and adoption of new technologies and their consequences for the creation\, circulation\, consumption and conception of music. Yet older technologies too were once new – and new technologies often revive or perpetuate old values\, compromises and assumptions in unrecognized ways. This conference aims to question and illuminate the acoustic/electronic and analog/digital divides by addressing “new” music technologies from across history\, from notation systems to sound recording\, string instruments to synthesizers\, carillons to computers\, metronomes to MIDI – from bone flute to auto-tune. The conference also aims to open up dialogues between past and current practice by bringing together scholars\, musicians and inventors from the Bay/Silicon Valley Area and beyond.

SUMMARY:Recent Progress with Nanowires: Growth and Energy Applications\, Apr 25
DESCRIPTION:The scientific field of (compound) semiconductor nanowires got started seriously in the US and in Europe about 15 years ago\, some ten years after the original break-through research conducted by Dr. Kenji Hiruma and his team at Hitachi in Japan. \nOur own early work was initially very much exploratory research\, testing to what extent we could understand\, control and have fun with the ways in which nanowires nucleate and grow. The whole field of nanowires saw great progress in the use of nanowires for physics and for fairly simple model devices. Just in the last five\, or so\, years we have seen serious break-through in novel growth methods and the understanding of nanowire growth\, as well as in the development of new technologies enabling efficient fabrication of nanowires for areas like solar cells and light-emitting diodes.  \nIn this talk I will cover all these areas\, with an emphasis on recent progress in controlled and efficient fabrication of nanowires for energy applications.

SUMMARY:Telehealth Challenges in the Future\, Apr 30
DESCRIPTION:What are the challenges for deployment of telehealth in the future? This lecture will focus on giving an overview of the evidence base of telehealth within the last 20 years. What can we learn from recent studies and implementation of telehealth at scale? Telehealth has been predicted to be a quick and easy success to solve the challenges of health care for everyone and everywhere. However\, for the last years studies on telehealth in Europe and the US have not lived up to the predicted expectations. The question is what are the barriers and facilitators in the past and what can we learn from them? \nBirthe Dinesen has performed research within telehealth since 2001. She is focusing on patient’s perspective using telehealth and how to organize telehealth the best way in the healthcare sector. She is participating in national and international telehealth studies in Europe\, China\, USA and Australia. \n———–\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:Groundtruth and Airwaves: Sensor Networks and Emerging Technology for Environmental Journalism\, Apr 30
DESCRIPTION:Groundtruth and Airwaves: Sensor Networks and Emerging Technology for Environmental Journalism \nSymposium\, April 30\, 1pm – 5pm | Banatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, University of California\, Berkeley \nPresented by: Internews’ Earth Journalism Network and CITRIS (Center for Information Research in the Interest of Society) \n$20 for general admission / $10 for faculty and staff / $5 for students \n \nTechnology–as remote as satellites and as close as our smartphones–offers new opportunities for collecting data about environmental topics. Evidence of rising sea levels\, poor air quality\, noise pollution and more can now be gathered from wireless sensor networks\, open public data sets\, and user-generated data from social media platforms. These tools make it simpler to gather\, analyze and visualize data\, helping to drive news stories for journalists and more thoughtful engagement and advocacy by activists. \nYet vexing climate problems or environmental health hazards may not fit neatly into data sets or be available for affected locales. In developing countries\, where 80% of the world’s population resides and where environmental degradation is felt most acutely\, environmental hotspots are often “data deserts.” What does this rise of “sensor journalism” mean for environmental news? \n“Groundtruth and Airwaves” will showcase a number of newsworthy environmental and health-related sensor projects currently underway. After a session of Lightning Talks\, working journalists from around the world will join a panel of technology experts and research scientists to explore opportunities and challenges found at the nexus of DIY sensors\, crowdsourced data\, and environmental and health journalism. What are the implications of new technology for the future of journalism? What role does crowdsourced data play in creating new media narratives about our environment? Are sensors really making a difference for journalism and news production\, or are technology tools and platforms limited to the domain of research scientists and the most tech-savvy news organizations? \nAdvanced registration is required http://groundtruthandairwaves.eventbrite.com \n  \nKEYNOTE: \n\n\n\n\n\nNadav Aharony\, Behavio\, Funf\, Google\, SXSW Tech Challenge WinnerDr. Nadav Aharony is co-founder and CEO at Behavio. He completed his PhD at the MIT Media Lab’s Human Dynamics group\, where he investigated the use of mobile phones as social and behavioral sensors\, conducted one of the largest mobile data experiments done in academia\, and initiated the open source mobile sensing platform that became “Funf.org”: http://funf.org. Nadav was also a Fellow at the MIT Center for Civic Media for 3 years\, since its inception\, where he worked on topics of mobile and social activism.

SUMMARY:Valuing Design\, May 2
DESCRIPTION:Quality design is credited with providing a powerful competitive advantage to businesses and \ndriving successful innovation. Metrics for measuring the value of design have included \nperformance ratings (e.g.\, J.D. Power\, Consumer Reports)\, financial metrics (e.g.\, stock \nperformance\, revenues\, sales)\, expert evaluations (e.g.\, IDEA/Business Week\, Consumer \nElectronics Society awards)\, creativity metrics (e.g.\, novelty\, variety)\, process metrics \n(e.g.\, multidisciplinary teamwork\, human-centered design)\, and societal impact (e.g.\, \nenvironmental\, development in emerging regions). A survey of research in selected design \nmetrics will be presented along with a discussion of what metrics might be used to differentiate \nUC Berkeley’s Design Innovation program. What skills do we hope our design graduates will \nhave when they leave UC Berkeley? What role will our students play in creating a more \nmeaningful and sustainable world? In this talk\, design will be viewed broadly to include the \ndesign of physical products\, software\, services\, experiences\, new business models and policy. \nAlice Agogino is the Roscoe and Elizabeth Hughes Professor of \nMechanical Engineering. Professor Agogino is affiliated faculty at the Haas School of \nBusiness\, Gender and Women’s Studies\, Studies in Engineering\, Science and Mathematics \nEducation\, and the Energy Resources Group at the University of California\, Berkeley. A \nmember of the National Academy of Engineering who has won numerous teaching and best \npaper awards\, Professor Agogino works with approximately 50 San Francisco Bay Area \ncompanies and non-profits on a number of product design and sustainability class and research \nprojects. She will speak about “Valuing Design.” Light refreshments will be served. I hope \nyou will join this conversation with an outstanding academic leader.
