At the same time\, inequality is widespread globally; even in America\, 42% of children born into poverty will stay in poverty for their entire lives. How can we address global poverty and climate change while building a strong world economy? \n Come hear Former Secretary of Labor and Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy\, Professor Robert Reich\, and Daniel Kammen\, Class of 1935 Distinguished Professor of Energy & Director of Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory (RAEL)\, speak about income inequality\, energy and climate policy\, and the way forward at RAEL’s policy panel\, “Labor\, energy\, and the economy – The Impact of Climate Change and Inequality.” \n Daniel M. Kammen is the Class of 1935 Distinguished Professor of Energy in the Energy and Resources Group\, the Goldman School of Public Policy\, and the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. During 2010 – 2011 Kammen served as the first Chief Technical Specialist for the World Bank\, where he led efforts to promote renewable energy development and energy efficiency in developing countries. He was appointed by former Secretary of State Clinton as a Fellow of the U. S. State Department’s Energy and Climate Partnership for the Americas (ECPA)\, and serves as Lead Scholar of the Fullbright NEXUS program. \n Kammen has served as a coordinating lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)\, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Kammen serves on the National Technical Advisory Board of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. He is the author of over 250 journal publications\, 4 books\, 30 technical reports\, and has testified in front of state and the US House and Senate over 30 times. \n Robert B. Reich is the Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley. He has served in three national administrations\, most recently as secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton. He also served on President-Elect Obama’s transition advisory board. Professor Reich is co-founding editor of The American Prospect magazine. His commentaries can be heard weekly on public radio’s Marketplace. In 2003\, Reich was awarded the prestigious Vaclav Havel Vision Foundation Prize\, by the former Czech president\, for his pioneering work in economic and social thought. In 2008\, Time Magazine named him one of the ten most successful cabinet secretaries of the century. \n Professor Reich received his B.A. from Dartmouth College\, his M.A. from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar\, and his J.D. from Yale Law School. \n Sponsored by Renewable & Appropriate Energy Laboratory. Co-Sponsored by CITRIS. \n ————- \n FREE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: \n This event is free and open to the public.

Such a restoration is extremely challenging from a computational standpoint as it combines a complex logistics problem with activation problems over a complex physical system. We present a four-step approach which allows us to separate the logistic and restoration aspects\, while ensuring an overall high quality restoration. The approach\, which heavily exploits hybrid optimization\, is validated on benchmarks using realistic power system data. The experimental results show significant improvements over the practice in the field and the critical role of hybrid optimization to find high-quality solutions in reasonable time. (Joint work with Carleton Coffrin and Pascal van Hentenryck) \n Russell Bent received his PhD in Computer Science from Brown University in 2005 and joined LANL as a technical staff member that year in the infrastructure analysis group (DSA-4). He is currently the leader of the optimization research and development team of DSA-4. He is a Co-PI on a laboratory directed research and development (LDRD) grant on the topic of the smart grid\, Co-PI on a project for uncertainty quantification of networks\, and Co-PI for the DOE-OE project Grid Science. He is also responsible for textit{RestoreSims}\, a project for resource management\, planning\, and distribution for disasters both for the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC). Russell’s publications include deterministic optimization\, optimization under uncertainty\, infrastructure modeling and simulation\, disaster planning\, constraint programming\, vehicle routing and scheduling\, supply chain\, algorithms\, and simulation.

Healthcare has experienced important changes but continues to lag. What have we learned from our experiences that inform us as we explore the implementation of various technologies designed to advance quality and access? What is the status of telehealth/eHealth/Connected Health in California\, especially as it relates to vulnerable populations? This talk will explore these themes and the importance for on-going\, multi-disciplinary engagement. Jana Katz-Bell will approach this topic not as a healthcare provider nor an engineer — but as a person who has been involved in implementation of many telehealth applications over the past decade and from a policy and sustainability perspective. \n ———– \n This semester marks the start of a new format for CITRIS seminars.

Drawing from archaeology\, criminology\, economics\, geography\, history\, political science\, and psychology\, we assemble and analyze the 60 most rigorous quantitative studies and document\, for the first time\, a striking convergence of results. We find strong causal evidence linking climatic events to human conflict across a range of spatial and temporal scales and across all major regions of the world. The magnitude of climate’s influence is substantial: for each one standard deviation (1s) change in climate toward warmer temperatures or more extreme rainfall\, median estimates indicate that the frequency of interpersonal violence rises 4% and the frequency of intergroup conflict rises 14%. Because locations throughout the inhabited world are expected to warm 2s to 4s by 2050\, amplified rates of human conflict could represent a large and critical impact of anthropogenic climate change.

We are starting to see them as solving social problems and reducing disruption; they help people enjoy others or even increase self-awareness. This talk will address notions of how we can introduce social awareness in our design practices and artifacts. I will frame the considerate system stance of social feedback to a user and describe results from a variety of research projects including systems supporting people in audio conference calls\, TV interactions\, saving energy\, phone reactions\, and voting technology. \n Dr. Ted Selker is director of Considerate Systems research at Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley and Visiting Scholar with the UC CITRIS Data and Democracy Initiative. \n Ted spent ten years as an associate Professor at the MIT Media Laboratory where he created the Context Aware Computing group and co-directed the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project. Prior to his appointment at MIT\, his successes at targeted product creation and enhancement earned him the role of IBM Fellow and director of User Systems Ergonomics Research. He has also served as a consulting professor at Stanford University\, taught at Hampshire\, University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Brown Universities and worked at Xerox PARC and Atari Research Labs. Ted was co-recipient of the Computer Science Policy Leader Award for Scientific American 50 in 2004\, the Telluride Tech fest award in 2008\, and the American Association for People with Disabilities Thomas Paine Award for his work on voting technology in 2006.

Encryption technologies have finally been deployed by software companies\, and critically\, enabled by default\, such that emails are flowing over HTTPS\, and disk encryption is now frequently used. Friendly telcos\, who were once a one-stop-shop for surveillance can no longer meet the needs of our government. What can the FBI and other government agencies do to preserve their spying capabilities? \n Part of the answer is backdoors: The FBI is rallying political support in Washington\, DC for legislation that will give it the ability to fine Internet companies unwilling to build surveillance backdoors into their products. Even though interception systems prove to be irresistible targets for nation states\, the FBI and its allies want to make our networks less secure\, not more. \n The other solution embraced by the FBI is hacking\, by the government\, against its citizens. A team of FBI agents and contractors\, based in Quantico\, Virginia have developed (and acquired) the capabilities to hack into systems\, deliver malware capable of surreptitiously enabling a computer’s webcam\, collecting real-time location data\, as well as capturing emails\, web browsing records and other documents. \n While politicians are clearly scared about hacks from China\, our own law enforcement agencies are clearly in the hacking business. What does this mean for the current\, heated debate about cybersecurity and our ability to communicate security? \n Dubbed the “Ralph Nader for the Internet Age” by Wired and “the most prominent of a new breed of activist technology researchers” by the Economist\, Christopher Soghoian works at the intersection of technology\, law\, and policy. A leading expert on privacy\, surveillance\, and information security\, Soghoian worked for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as the first-ever in-house technical advisor to the Division of Privacy and Identity Protection. He is currently the Principal Technologist with the Speech\, Privacy\, and Technology Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. \n A 2012 TEDGlobal Fellow\, Soghoian has been named a top innovator under 35 by the MIT Technology Review\, and was an Open Society Foundations Fellow. Soghoian completed his Ph.D. at Indiana University in 2012\, which focused on the role that Internet and telephone companies play in enabling government surveillance of their customers.

The lecture is part of the “Not on the Test: The Pleasures and Uses of Mathematics” series of lectures sponsored by the Simons Foundation (www.simonsfoundation.org) and co-presented by MSRI and Berkeley City College. \n Dr. Inez Fung is a contributing author to the Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)\, a scientific body under the auspices of the United Nations\, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Vice President Al Gore. Dr. Fung will discuss how we measure and verify claims about emissions related to global warming. Dr. Fung is a professor of atmospheric science in UC Berkeley’s earth and planetary science and environmental science\, policy and management departments. She has studied climate change for 20 years and has created mathematical models that represent CO2 sources and sinks around the globe. Fung’s work in climate modeling shows the co-evolution of CO2 and climate\, and concludes that the diminishing capacity of the land and oceans to store carbon is acting to accelerate global warming.

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.

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.
