SUMMARY:Wireless Sensor Networks for Flash Flood and Traffic Monitoring in Urban Environments\, Sep 24
DESCRIPTION:This talk describes a new architecture for distributed flash flood and traffic monitoring in cities using combined Eulerian and Lagrangian sensing. Unlike current traffic sensor networks\, the architecture maintains user privacy by using a distributed computing approach. \nIn this system\, probe vehicles broadcast speed data to local nodes\, which estimate vehicles location. Fixed sensors also measure traffic parameters\, and all traffic data is forwarded to local coordinator nodes. Using the classical LWR traffic flow model\, we show that the traffic reconstruction problem results in a set of MILPs\, which can be efficiently solved by all nodes using distributed computing\, the coordinator node supervising all computations. With this approach\, user privacy is maintained\, in the sense that no vehicle track data is forwarded beyond the radio range of the node cluster. \nBiography:\nChristian Claudel is an assistant professor of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical engineering at KAUST. He received the PhD degree in EECS from UC Berkeley in 2010\, and the Ms degree in Plasma Physics from Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon in 2004. He received the Leon Chua Award from UC Berkeley in 2010 for his work on Mobile Millennium. His research interests include control and estimation of distributed parameter systems\, wireless sensor networks and environmental sensing systems \n———-\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:Agriculture and Fracking\, Sep 22
DESCRIPTION:As the process of capturing natural gas through hydraulic fracturing\, or “fracking\,” expands nationally\, it has come under fire for its impact on water quality and quantity\, energy use\, and climate change. Less explored\, however\, are the impacts of fracking on agriculture\, the American food system\, and public health. This panel will examine the direct and indirect impacts of fracking on sustainable agriculture\, American farmland\, rural communities\, and the food supply. Are there ways to mitigate these impacts through regulation? What strategies can be employed to better protect the links between energy\, agriculture and public health? \nA panel discussion moderated by Ed Dobb\, Carnegie Lecturer\, Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism\, Graduate School of Journalism\, UC Berkeley. The panel will feature: \nSeth Shonkoff\, Executive Director\, Physicians\, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy; Environmental Researcher\, UC Berkeley \nTom Frantz\, Farmer\, Kern County\, California; Anti-fracking Activist \nRose Braz\, Climate Campaign Director\, Center for Biological Diversity \nFree and open to the public. This event is part of the BFI Food Exchange Series.

SUMMARY:Blending Science Engineering and Design\, Sep 19
DESCRIPTION:High-Impact Research strategies could help large and small projects to deepen human understanding of the natural and made worlds\, so as to promote sustainable use of natural resources and improve quality of life for individuals\, organizations\, communities\, and nations. The raised expectations are that by addressing basic and applied research goals from the start\, projects will yield higher quality basic and applied results. \nThe High-Impact Research strategies are not for everyone\, but I claim that researchers are more likely to achieve high impact\, if they follow these strategies:\n–          Choose actionable problems that address civic\, business & global priorities \n  \n–          Blend science\, engineering\, and design research methods \n  \n–          Form collaborations with diverse individuals & organizations \n  \n–          Build on generalizable theories\, principles & guidelines \n  \n–          Develop prototypes that are tested with ever more realistic interventions \n  \n–          Use quantitative big data & qualitative case study research methods \n  \n–          Promote adoption & measure impact\nThere are many ways to apply these strategies\, and there may be other strategies that would be helpful\, but the number of individuals\, teams\, and organizations that are already demonstrating their value is growing. My hope is to accelerate their adoption and provoke discussion of these and creative alternatives. \n——————- \nBen Shneiderman is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science\, Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory\, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park. \nHe pioneered the highlighted textual link in 1983\, and it became part of Hyperties\, a precursor to the web.

SUMMARY:TRUST Security Seminar\, Sep 18
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Whitney Phillips (Communication Studies\, Humboldt State University) will discuss her forthcoming book This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream Culture (MIT Press 2015). Unlike most popular accounts of trolling\, which place the problem of antagonistic online behavior squarely at the feet of participating trolls\, Phillips will assert that the so-called troll problem is actually a culture problem. Not only do trolls fit comfortably within the contemporary American media landscape\, they effortlessly replicate the most pervasive—and in many cases outright venerated—tropes in the Western tradition. Trolls may take these tropes to their furthest and most grotesque extremes\, but at a very basic level\, trolls’ actions are born of and fueled by culturally sanctioned impulses\, immediately complicating the impulse to condemn trolls for their obscene and seemingly deviant behavior. Trolls’ behaviors may well be obscene\, but as Phillips will illustrate\, the most surprising thing about trolling is that it isn’t all that deviant. In fact\, in ostensibly non-trolling contexts\, similar behaviors are regarded as perfectly acceptable\, if not desirable. This book isn’t just about trolls\, in other words. It’s about a culture in which trolls thrive. \nHaving established the scope of her project\, Phillips will then turn to an examination of trolling behaviors on Facebook\, specifically in relation to memorial groups and fan pages. In addition to mapping the development of RIP trolling—in which online instigators post abusive comments and images onto pages created for and dedicated to the deceased—she will describe the highly contentious and ultimately parasitic relationship between memorial trolls and Facebook itself. As she will chronicle\, trolls and Facebook were for many years engaged in a struggle of wills\, a struggle that ultimately resulted in the successful pushback against the most outrageous trolling behaviors—thus providing a fascinating case study for how online platforms can\, or perhaps should\, attempt to combat unwanted user aggressions. \n  \n1pm-2pm \n250 Sutardja Dao Hall\, UC Berkeley

SUMMARY:Digital Agenda for Europe\, Sep 17
DESCRIPTION:The European Commission launched in March 2010 the Europe 2020 Strategy to exit the crisis and prepare the EU economy for the challenges of the next decade. Europe 2020 sets out a vision to achieve high levels of employment\, a low carbon economy\, productivity and social cohesion\, to be implemented through concrete actions at EU and national levels. This battle for growth and jobs requires ownership at top political level and mobilisation from all actors across Europe. \nThe Digital Agenda for Europe is one of the seven flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 Strategy\, set out to define the key enabling role that the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will have to play if Europe wants to succeed in its ambitions for 2020. \nBiography:\nFrancisco García Morán is the Directorate-General for Informatics at the European Commission. In this role he defines the IT strategy of the European Commission\, provides ICT corporate services and is also responsible for the European programme ISA (Interoperable Solutions for Public Administrations).  Since he joined the European Commission in November 1986\, he has continued working in the IT area\, first at the Informatics Directorate and then at the Directorate-General for Translation. \nIn 2001 he was appointed Director of Informatics at the Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration. He was responsible for establishment of the Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT) in May 2004 of which he was appointed Director General in November 2005. \nMr. García Morán is a member of the Management Board of ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) and of the World Bank’s HLEG (High Level E Transformation Group). He holds a degree in mathematics from the University of Seville and a degree in computer science from the Polytechnic University of Madrid. \n———–\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:TRUST Security Seminar\, Sep 11
DESCRIPTION:This talk will cover our study of three advanced web tracking mechanisms: canvas fingerprinting\, evercookies and cookie syncing. Canvas fingerprinting\, a recently developed form of browser fingerprinting\, exploits the differences in image rendering by browsers to obtain a unique tracking identifier. Our study found that over 5% of the top 100\,000 websites\, ranging from whitehouse.gov to popular adult sites\, included scripts that utilize canvas fingerprinting\, along with other known forms of browser fingerprinting as demonstrated by EFF’s Panopticlick Project. \nThe talk will also feature the results of our first automated study of evercookies and respawning\, the tracking techniques which had previously led to a lawsuit and a $500\,000 settlement in US. Finally\, the amplification of privacy-intrusive tracking practices due to cookie syncing and novel techniques for detecting tracking identifiers will be presented. \nGunes Acar is a PhD student at University of Leuven\, in Belgium\, where he works on privacy and anonymity technologies with a focus on online tracking and browser fingerprinting. Gunes studied electronics engineering\, linguistics and media in Ankara\, Turkey\, where he also worked as programmer for a couple of years.

SUMMARY:The Transformation of Transportation: New Vehicles\, Fuels\, and Mobility Services\, Sep 3
DESCRIPTION:Dan Sperling of UC Davis will speak at the first CITRIS Research Exchange of the fall.\nPassenger transportation was arguably the least innovative sector in our society over the past 80 years. Passenger travel has devolved into a monoculture where the single occupant vehicle dominates all other surface modes. We are now on the threshold of radical change. New mobility services such as Uber and Lyft\, new propulsion technologies using electricity and hydrogen\, and increasing vehicle automation could transform how we travel\, with the potential for a much smaller resource and environmental footprint. \nDr. Daniel Sperling is Professor of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science and Policy\, and founding Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California\, Davis (ITS-Davis). He has led ITS-Davis to international prominence by building strong partnerships with industry\, government\, and the environmental community\, integrating interdisciplinary research and education programs\, and connecting research with public outreach and education.\n——————— \nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast. Ask questions live on Twitter: #CITRISRE. All talks may be viewed on our YouTube channel \nThe schedule for the semester can be found on the CITRIS site.  \nWebviewing at UC Davis: 1065 Kemper Hall\nWebviewing at UC Merced: COB 322-Willow\nWebviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 595B \nRegistration through eventbrite is required for lunch at UC Berkley:\nhttps://dan-sperling-citrisre.eventbrite.com \n

SUMMARY:Agricultural Imagery\, Governmentality\, and Self-Cultivation in Early Chinese Texts\, May 22
DESCRIPTION:Ritualistic and agricultural imagery dominate depictions of the human and social body in early Chinese texts. In this presentation\, I set out to dialogue passages from three texts from the 4th & 2nd century BCE in order to depict their distinct understandings of self-cultivation and governmentality. I analyze how changes in their usage of images of tilled fields and wilderness crystallize and purport conceptual transformations of rulership.

SUMMARY:Biological Inspiration: How We Learn from Nature to Design Robots\, Exoskeletons and Adhesives\, May 17
DESCRIPTION:Biological Inspiration is the use of principles from biology to generate novel designs through integration with the best human engineering. These fundamental principles have inspired the design of new manufacturing processes\, control circuits\, artificial muscles\, self-cleaning dry adhesives\, and autonomous legged\, search-and-rescue robots. \nAnimals have evolved simple control systems\, multifunction actuators and feet that allow no surface to be an obstacle. Using these principles\, many-legged robots such as RHex have been developed. These robots can function to gather information in hazardous areas\, and help first responders in search and rescue functions. \nAmazing feet permit creatures such as geckos to climb up walls at over one meter per second. Geckos attach by using millions of hairs on their toes. These natural nanotech tips don’t stick by glue\, suction\, or interlock like Velcro\, but only use intermolecular forces termed van der Waals forces. The hairy toes of geckos self-clean simply by walking. The diversity of hairs among the 850 gecko species is remarkable and we can’t yet explain this variation. However\, these natural designs have inspired a variety of synthetic adhesives manufactured from many different materials ranging from carbon-nanotubes to rubbery polymers. Practical applications are limitless – new band-aids\, surgical instruments\, tires\, shoes\, clothes\, sporting equipment and much more. \nTranslating Nature’s discoveries into products requires unprecedented integration among disciplines that include biology\, engineering\, physics\, chemistry\, computer science and mathematics\, as well as new collaborative models between universities and industry. \nRobert J. Full is a Chancellor’s and Goldman Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology. In his 28 years at Cal\, he has led a focused international effort to demonstrate the value of biological inspiration by the formation of interdisciplinary collaborations of biologists\, engineers\, mathematicians and computer scientists from academia and industry. Professor Full is founder and director of CiBER\, the Center for interdisciplinary Bio-inspiration in Education and Research\, and directs the Poly-PEDAL Laboratory\, which studies the Performance\, Energetics and Dynamics of Animal Locomotion (PEDAL) in many-footed creatures (Poly). His fundamental discoveries in animal locomotion have inspired the design of novel neural control circuits\, artificial muscles\, eight autonomous legged robots and the first\, synthetic self-cleaning dry adhesive named one of the top ten nanotechnology patents. Professor Full received a Presidential Young Investigator Award\, was named a Mentor in the Life Sciences by the National Academy of Sciences and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His interests range from analyzing the pitching motion of a Hall of Fame baseball player to assisting computer animators make children’s movies (Pixar/Disney Bug’s Life). \nThis free public talk is presented as part of the monthly “Science@Cal Lecture Series” – details at http://scienceatcal.berkeley.edu/lectures

SUMMARY:Beyond Computation: The P versus NP question\, May 9
DESCRIPTION:What are the theoretical limitations of computer power? \nIn a remarkable 1956 letter\, the great logician Kurt Gödel first raised this question when he asked the famous mathematician and computer pioneer John von Neumann whether certain computational problems could be solved without resorting to a brute force search through many possibilities. In so doing\, he foreshadowed the P versus NP question\, one of the major unanswered questions of contemporary mathematics and theoretical computer science. This question asks whether every problem whose solution can be easily verified by a computer can also be easily solved by a computer. An answer to this question would reveal the potential for computers to solve puzzles\, crack codes\, prove theorems\, and optimize many practical tasks. \nThe event begins with a talk on the P vs NP question\, by Professor Michael Sipser of MIT. This will be followed by a panel discussion\, in which a group of distinguished computer science theorists will join Sipser to illuminate the current status of the question and our prospects for resolving it. Light refreshments will be served before the lecture\, at 5 p.m.

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.
