The analysis reveals how intra-familial bargaining is guided by implicit social contracts between family members. These social contracts imply particular rights and responsibilities\, depending on the families’ level of material resources. Different social contracts are evident across the economic spectrum. Some social contracts frame net time as an individualized good while others frame it as a communal good. The findings illuminate the logics underpinning familial negotiations over each kind of net time. Ultimately\, familial social contracts over net time have the power to encourage or hinder use of net time for capital-enhancing activities.

Ask questions live on Twitter: #CITRISRE. All talks may be viewed post-event on our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/citrisuc. \n Jaron Lanier is a computer scientist\, composer\, visual artist\, and author. His scientific interests include biomimetic information architectures\, user interfaces\, heterogeneous scientific simulations\, advanced information systems for medicine\, and computational approaches to the fundamentals of physics. He collaborates with a wide range of scientists in fields related to these interests. \n Lanier’s name is also often associated with Virtual Reality research. He either coined or popularized the term ‘Virtual Reality’ and in the early 1980s founded VPL Research\, the first company to sell VR products. In the late 1980s he led the team that developed the first implementations of multi-person virtual worlds using head mounted displays\, for both local and wide area networks\, as well as the first “avatars”\, or representations of users within such systems. While at VPL\, he and his colleagues developed the first implementations of virtual reality applications in surgical simulation\, vehicle interior prototyping\, virtual sets for television production\, and assorted other areas. He led the team that developed the first widely used software platform architecture for immersive virtual reality applications. Sun Microsystems acquired VPL’s seminal portfolio of patents related to Virtual Reality and networked 3D graphics in 1999. \n From 1997 to 2001\, Lanier was the Chief Scientist of Advanced Network and Services\, which contained the Engineering Office of Internet2\, and served as the Lead Scientist of the National Tele-immersion Initiative\, a coalition of research universities studying advanced applications for Internet2. The Initiative demonstrated the first prototypes of tele-immersion in 2000 after a three-year development period. From 2001 to 2004 he was Visiting Scientist at Silicon Graphics Inc.\, where he developed solutions to core problems in telepresence and tele-immersion. He was Scholar at Large for Microsoft from 2006 to 2009\, and Partner Architect at Microsoft Research from 2009 forward. \n Lanier has received honorary doctorates from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Franklin and Marshall College\, was the recipient of CMU’s Watson award in 2001\, was a finalist for the first Edge of Computation Award in 2005\, and received a Lifetime Career Award from the IEEE in 2009 for contributions to Virtual Reality.

How have digital artists tried to work through the visual politics of racial identities? What is at stake in the “skin play” available to those who inhabit artificial worlds? How do such representations imply a certain ethics of social relation? In the 2009 essay “The Face and The Public: Race\, Secrecy and Digital Art Practice ” some of these questions are explored in the form of a critical response to theorists\, such as Mark Hansen\, who argue for the internet as a racially neutral domain. In this talk\, Jennifer González will delve into the interplay of race and art in new media\, using the arts to discuss the evolution of racial representation in the digital age. \n Jennifer A. González teaches in the History of Art and Visual Culture department at the University of California\, Santa Cruz and at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program\, New York. She has written for numerous periodicals including “Aztlán\,” “Frieze\,” “Bomb\,” “Camera Obscura\,” and “Art Journal.” Her essays about cyborg bodies and racial embodiment in digital art can be found in anthologies like “The Cyborg Handbook” (1995) and “Race in Cyberspace” (2000). Her book “Subject to Display: Reframing Race in Contemporary Installation Art” (MIT Press\, 2008) was a finalist for the Charles Rufus Morey Book Award. \n The ATC series is produced by the Berkeley Center for New Media (BCNM)\, with support from the Office of the Vice Chancellor and Provost\, the Center for Information Technology in the Interest of Society (CITRIS)\, Meyer Sound and Theo Armour.

Given last April’s passage of the JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act)\, and delay in the issuance of clear regulatory guidelines\, the research agenda remains unclear. As such\, we seek a very wide array of submissions from all disciplines. We encourage scholars to think deeply about what we should study and to distill crisp research questions\, such that we can collectively put forth an effective and coherent research agenda. While the focus will be equity crowdfunding\, we will consider research on all versions of the phenomenon. If you have any preliminary research results to share\, they would be appreciated\, however\, we also welcome thoughtful expositions and research designs. \n Please send proposals by Aug. 1\, 2013\, to Hazel Palaski: hpalaski@berkeley.edu. We hope to have in attendance the legislators who sponsored crowdfunding reform in the U.S. Congress. Policy representatives from the SEC will also attend. \n Please see attached document for further details.

Airline flight dispatchers must file flight plans about an hour before push-back from the gate using their best available weather forecasts. FAA traffic managers assess the impact of weather on traffic flows\, and\, when necessary\, implement standard reroutes for groups of flights. Given the uncertainty in weather\, standardized reroutes may result in large buffers between flight routes and forecast weather. Weather changes as flights progress along planned routes\, and because airline dispatchers and FAA traffic managers are busy\, especially during weather events\, they may miss workable opportunities for more efficient routes around weather. Dynamic Weather Routes (DWR) is a search engine that continuously and automatically analyzes in-flight aircraft in en route airspace and proposes simple route amendments for more efficient routes around convective weather while considering winds aloft\, sector congestion\, traffic conflicts\, and active Special Use Airspace. NASA and American Airlines (AA) are conducting an operational trial of DWR at the AA System Operations Center in Fort Worth\, Texas. A key result of the trial is that since airline operators are especially busy during weather events\, it is more effective to let the automation identify and alert users to potentially high-value reroute options.

A new human-robot interface for ad hoc Mission Specialists that provides role-specific visual common ground and permits shared control of the robot’s payload camera and verbal coordination with the Pilot will be discussed. \n This research is of importance to human-robot interaction researchers and practitioners\, as well as those in the fields of robotics\, human-computer interaction\, and artificial intelligence\, because it found that a human Pilot role is necessary for assistance and understanding\, and that there are hidden dependencies in the human-robot team that affect Mission Specialist performance. Additional future directions for this research will be discussed. \n ————- \n This semester marks the start of a new format for CITRIS seminars. The i4Energy seminar series will be included in the Research Exchange seminar series and held only on Wednesdays (seminars will no longer take place separately on Fridays).

Unfortunately\, developers rarely have the time or resources to fix all bugs. This raises a serious security question: which bugs are exploitable\, and thus should be fixed first? \n David Brumley’s research team’s vision is to automatically check the world’s software for exploitable bugs. Their approach is based on program verification\, but with a twist. Traditional verification takes a program and a specification of safety as inputs\, and checks that all execution paths of the program meet the safety specification. The twist in AEG is they replace typical safety properties with an “un-exploitability” property\, and the “verification” process becomes finding a program path in which the un-exploitability property does not hold. Their analysis generates working control flow hijack and command injection exploits for exploitable paths. Brumley will discuss his team’s results with a data set of over 33\,000 programs. He will also discuss current challenges and future directions in symbolic execution. \n David Brumley is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University with a primary appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department\, and a courtesy appointment in the Computer Science Department. He works in computer security\, with an emphasis on software security. Prof. Brumley has a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University\, an MS in Computer Science from Stanford University\, and a BA in Mathematics from the University of Northern Colorado. He served as a Computer Security Officer for Stanford University from 1998-2002 where he handled many thousand computer security incidents. He is the faculty mentor for the CMU Hacking Team\, which is ranked in the top 3 internationally. He has received the USENIX Security best paper awards in 2003 and 2007\, selected for the 2010 DARPA CSSP program\, a 2010 NSF CAREER award\, the 2010 United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Obama\, and the 2013 Sloan Foundation award.
