SUMMARY:Big Data Analytics in Business\, Services Centers\, and Healthcare\, Oct 17
DESCRIPTION:Professor Akella will describe his research\, which is based on extensive interactions with Silicon Valley and firms such as AOL\, SAP\, Cisco\, IBM. \n                He will focus particularly on Hierarchical Bayesian models\, including Bayesian Kalman filtering\, in addressing the following problems: \n                1. Online advertising and attribution modeling\, which is assigning credit for user commercial actions to ad exposures. He will describe both aggregate methods and disaggregate methods that address incorrect A/B testing approaches. He will also describe Big data and sparsity issues. \n                2. Energy analytics for building energy optimization. He will indicate similarities in approaches based on Bayesian Kalman filtering. \n                3. Topic modeling\, information extraction and retrieval in service centers. \n                The key issue is Big Data resulting in cognitive overload. We exploit the Generalized Dirichlet and other models that better capture causal models for text\, and lead to significantly enhanced likelihood results with orders of magnitude speedup. \n                —————————– \n                Ram Akella is currently Professor and Director of the Center for Large-scale Live Analytics and Smart Services (CLASS)\, which includes SMART (Social Media Analytics Research Transformation)\, and the Center for Knowledge\, Information Systems and Technology Management (KISMT) at the University of California at Silicon Valley Center/Santa Cruz. Prof. Akella started his academic career as a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard and then joined MIT (EECS/LIDS and LFM) as a Postdoctoral Associate. He then joined Carnegie Mellon University in 1985 as an Associate Professor in the Tepper Business School (GSIA) and the School of Computer Science (CS/RI)\, before working at other institutions including MIT\, Berkeley\, Stanford\, and establishing an ORU and TIM(ISTM) at UCSC/SVC as Founding Director/Chair. \n                ——————- \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B

SUMMARY:A New View of AC Power Distribution Systems\, Oct 19
DESCRIPTION:Electric power distribution used to be so pleasant and simple: power flowed down the wires from a nice substation to a happy consumer\, and if the circuit could handle peak load\, it would be okay in all conditions. Today it’s much more mysterious: with solar panels and wind turbines\, nobody quite knows which way the power is flowing\, and it changes from second to second. Even the stability of distribution systems\, taken for granted a decade ago\, is now being questioned. Alex McEachern and Sascha von Meier will discuss these problems — opportunities? — and how a proposed new micro-synchrophasor technology could open a window on distribution power flow and stability. \n                —————– \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B

SUMMARY:Virtual Characters\, Avatars And Motion Interfaces For Improving Physical Therapy\, Oct 24
DESCRIPTION:I will present in this talk our recent results on human-like motion planning and interaction for training and rehabilitation applications. Our approach for human-like motion planning is based on a multi-modal framework that coordinates locomotion\, body positioning\, and upper-body action execution. Blending spaces defined from example motions are then introduced for achieving continuous search spaces suitable for planning human-like variations of a given action. Example motions are collected by demonstration by means of a virtual reality interface developed on the UC Merced Powerwall\, or by means of a low-cost Kinect-based solution. The overall approach leads to new interfaces for physical therapy applications. Exercises are modeled by demonstration and later autonomously delivered and monitored by virtual therapists. The virtual therapist also functions as an avatar during remote therapy sessions between real therapists and patients. Examples in the context of hand and upper-body motion rehabilitation will be presented. \n                Biography: \n                Marcelo Kallmann is founding faculty and associate professor of computer science at the University of California\, Merced. Before moving to UC Merced he was research faculty at the computer science department of the University of Southern California (USC) and a scientist at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT). He obtained his PhD in 2001 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). His areas of research include computer animation\, virtual reality\, motion planning and humanoid robotics. His current interests are related to motion interfaces for virtual reality\, planning methods for human-like motions\, and path planning in triangulations. In 2012 he is serving as the program co-chair for the 5th International Conference on Motion in Games (MIG). At UC Merced he established and leads the computer graphics research group. \n                ———– \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B

SUMMARY:History and Theory of New Media Lecture: Wendy Chun\, Brown\, Oct 25
DESCRIPTION:That we live in a networked society has become a cliché. From high-speed financial networks that erode national sovereignty to Twitter feeds that foster new political alliances to viruses that threaten global catastrophe\, networks allegedly encapsulate everything new—politically\, culturally\, militarily—about our current era. But what are networks and how do they matter? How do they differ from one another? How are they experienced and negotiated—what feelings of paranoia\, empowerment\, and inclusion/exclusion do they engender? This talk wagers that the answer to these questions lies in how networks are imagined. That is\, the power of “networks” as a theoretical tool stems from how they enable us to link between the global and the local—two scales allegedly irrevocably disconnected in the postmodern era. Rather than simply dissolving postmodern confusion\, though\, networks have created intriguing new crises and social formations. \n                Wendy Chun is Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. She has studied both Systems Design Engineering and English Literature\, which she combines and mutates in her current work on digital media. She is author of “Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics” (MIT\, 2006)\, and “Programmed Visions: Software and Memory” (MIT 2011); she is co-editor of a special issue of Camera Obscura entitled “Race and/as Technology” and co-editor of “New Media\, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader” (Routledge\, 2005). She is currently a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton); she has been a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard and a Wriston Fellow at Brown\, as well as a visiting associate professor in the History of Science Department at Harvard. She is currently working on a monograph entitled “Imagined Networks”. \n                Co-sponsored by the Department of Film and Media. \n                The History and Theory of New Media series is produced by the Berkeley Center for New Media with support from the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS).

SUMMARY:sMAP: Simple Measurement and Actuation for Integrating and Managing Physical Data\, Oct 26
DESCRIPTION:Time-series data is increasingly ubiquitous and generated in large volumes; commercial buildings are a particularly rich source of this information generated by the building management system\, computer networks\, occupant activity\, and many other systems. When put to use\, this information could lead to significant reductions in energy consumption; however\, it is often located in proprietary “silos”\, fragmentary\, and otherwise disorganized. The sMAP project aims to create a simple\, common foundation for collecting and organizing this data: in this talk\, we discuss the challenges of dealing with the heterogeneous data sources and providing a simple platform for building energy application. We detail some of the tens of thousands of streams currently collected\, and demonstrate some of the many uses sMAP has been put to. \n                ————— \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B

SUMMARY:Emotion Tracking for Memory\, Health and Awareness\, Oct 30
DESCRIPTION:In this talk a novel system we designed that allows users to reflect upon their moods while doing desktop computing activities and other daily events will be described. We surveyed potential users of such a system to see what they remembered about their mood swings and behavioral patterns emotionally over time\, and it was clear that they felt they did not have a good handle on this after even 48 hours. We then built AffectAura to help users track their moods\, and tested our system on six users over a week of time. The results were promising. Users found interesting patterns in the data and gave us great feedback on how to evolve the user interface visualization for real time feedback on emotional reactions\, mood swings and activities. Now we are building systems and applications that perform mood detection in real time using mobile technology. We are exploring novel user interface ideas to help users reflect on and manage their affective experiences. Many questions remain from our work on AffectAura\, in terms of how useful a system like this would be over the long term and how valuable a mobile tracking system might be in real time (especially given the likelihood of misclassifications). In addition\, we also are interested in user interface “intervention” styles that can be used when negative or disruptive emotions are detected\, whether in a car\, at the desktop\, or while mobile. Finally\, we feel there is a huge opportunity in the remote familial space\, or in a close social network\, where knowing about the emotional health of separated loved ones or close friends comes in to play. These new research areas are tightly coupled to privacy issues. A few examples of applications in some of these new areas will be presented.

SUMMARY:Transforming K-12 Computer Science: The Beauty and Joy of Computing\, Oct 31
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n                The Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC) was chosen as one of the initial pilots for a new “AP CS: Principles” exam to be introduced in 2015. The purpose of this course is to attract nontraditional computing students (especially women and minorities\, but also English majors) to the breadth and depth of ideas in modern computer science. The National Science Foundation wants to prepare 10\,000 new high school computer science teachers to teach the new AP course by 2015 (the “CS10K” effort). Under their CE21 (Computing Education for the 21st Century) initiative\, we were funded to provide paid intensive six-week summer workshops for high school teachers\, including two weeks of face-to-face training\, one before and one after four weeks of our online course. This talk will review the status of all of these projects\, the development of “Snap!” (Build Your Own Blocks)\, a graphical programming environment based on MIT’s Scratch that is used in the curriculum\, and how we’re working with the UC Online Instruction Pilot Project to bring BJC to the world. \n                Biography: \n                Dr. Dan Garcia received dual B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT\, 1990; and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 1995 and 2000\, respectively. He joined the CS faculty at UC Berkeley in the Fall of 2000\, won the departmental Diane S. McEntyre Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2002\, the departmental Information Technology Faculty Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2004 and was chosen as a UC Berkeley “Unsung Hero” in 2005. He has taught (or co-taught as a GSI\, where he won both departmental and campus outstanding GSI awards) courses in teaching techniques\, computer graphics\, virtual reality\, computer animation\, self-paced programming as well as the lower-division introductory CS curriculum. He is active in SIGCSE\, is a member of the ACM Education Board\, and is the faculty co-advisor for BFOIT\, a wonderful Berkeley outreach effort. He is currently mentoring over seventy undergraduates\, spread across four groups that he founded in 2001\, centered around his research and development interests in computer graphics\, Macintosh OS X programming\, combinatorial game theory and computer science education. \n                ————– \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B

SUMMARY:Piezoelectric Fan Cooling for Enhancement of LED's\, Nov 2
DESCRIPTION:With the increasing global demand for more efficient lighting solutions\, light emitting diodes (LED’s) have gained widespread adoption in both consumer and industrial lighting markets. While LED’s have proven efficiency and longevity\, such performance enhancements are highly correlated to their operating temperatures. While LED’s do not produce infrared (IR) radiation\, more than 60% of the input power is lost as heat. In order to maximize LED brightness (lumen output) and lifetime\, it is essential to reduce the junction temperature through effective thermal management. Typical thermal management methods include passive heat-sinking and conventional fan cooling. While passive heat-sinks provide a noise-less solution to excess heat\, natural convection does not provide sufficient cooling for higher powered LED systems. Fan cooling provides forced convection for effective cooling while taking advantage of well-established heat-sink design guidelines developed by the electronic industry. However\, the improvement from fan cooling comes at a trade-off between acoustic noise and fan speed. \n                Piezoelectric fans can potentially provide low-noise and long-term cooling solutions for modern LED systems. A piezoelectric fan consists of a piezoelectric cantilever beam with a longer mylar blade attached below the beam. When an AC voltage is applied at the beam’s resonant frequency (typically 115V at 60 Hz – 30mW)\, the tip of the fan experiences a large displacement\, resulting in air movement. The vortices flowing from the tip of the blade provide unique airflow patterns for LED cooling applications. Since the frequency of the piezoelectric beams are typically on the lower end of the audible range\, acoustic noise from piezoelectric fans are not noticeable. Current research efforts are focused on the design of heat-sinks for cooling LED’s with piezoelectric fans to take advantage of their unique flow patterns. This talk will discuss results from (1) experimental heat transfer analysis\, (2) computational design and analysis using COMSOL multi-physics and (3) flow visualization of piezoelectric fans to optimize heat-sink designs. \n                —————– \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B

SUMMARY:Smart City: What Is the Added Value?\, Nov 5-6\, 2012
DESCRIPTION:Smart City approaches rely on the integration of modeling/simulation techniques and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) into city planning and practices\, such as city growth projections\, city operations (municipal water/electric supply\, waste management\, etc.)\, city processes (such as payroll)\, city services (to citizens\, to businesses\, to suppliers\, etc.)\, etc. Smart City approaches are intended to help cities achieve sustainability\, but they also raise new issues. \n                The 2012 CaFFEET (California France Forum on Energy Efficiency Technologies) will assess the added value that can be generated with regards to two fundamental city needs: attractiveness and resilience. \n                Distinguished speakers at this two-day event include: \n                Francois Delattre \n                Ambassador of France in the U.S. \n                Bernard Salha \n                Senior Executive VP and President of R&D\, EDF Group \n                Melanie Nutter \n                Director of Environment\, San Francisco \n                Jean-Louis Missika \n                Deputy Mayor in Charge of Innovation\, Research and Universities\, Paris \n                More information can be found at \n                .

SUMMARY:Real-time Auralization for Virtual Environments – An Overview of RWTH's Virtual Reality System\, Nov 7
DESCRIPTION:This talk gives an overview on the acoustics aspects of this virtual reality system. This includes the simulation of room acoustics\, sound reproduction to the user and the required signal processing. The real-time auralization engine enables a physically accurate simulation of sound propagation\, including important wave effects such as sound scattering\, airborne sound insulation between rooms and sound diffraction. Binaural synthesis is used to create a spatial sound playback. Audio rendering with long room impulse responses is achieved by highly parallelized non-uniformly partitioned convolutions. A dynamic crosstalk cancellation system allows to playback the binaural signals to the user without the need of headphones. In order to handle the significant computational complexity\, the computation is distributed on a PC-cluster\, that drives the simulation in real-time even for huge audio-visual scenarios. Several examples of applications are presented in the talk.

SUMMARY:Learning patterns in Big data from small data using core-sets\, Nov 8
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: When we need to solve an optimization problem we usually use the best available algorithm/software or try to improve it. In recent years we have started exploring a different approach: instead of improving the algorithm\, reduce the input data and run the existing algorithm on the reduced data to obtain the desired output much faster on a streaming input\, using a manageable amount of memory\, and in parallel (say\, using Hadoop\, cloud service\, or GPUs). \n                A core-set for a given problem is a semantic compression of its input\, in the sense that a solution for the problem with the (small) core-set as input yields an approximate solution to the problem with the original (Big) data. In this talk I will describe the core-set approach and recent algorithmic achievements for computing core-sets with performance guarantees. I will also describe applications of this magical new paradigm in Machine Learning\, Robotics\, Computer Vision\, and Privacy. Finally\, I will describe in detail iDiary: a system that turns large sensor signals collected from smart-phones into textual descriptions of the trajectories. The system features a user interface similar to Google Search that allows users to type text queries on their activities (e.g.\, “Where did I buy books?”) and receive textual answers based on their GPS signals. \n                Bio: Dan Feldman is a post-doc at MIT in the Distributed Robotics Lab\, where he develops systems for handling streaming Big data from sensors\, smartphones\, images\, and robots. He got his Ph.D. from Tel-Aviv University in 2010\, under the supervision of Prof. Micha Sharir and Prof. Amos Fiat. He then was a postdoc at the Center for the Mathematics of Information at Caltech for a year and a half\, where he started to reduce the gap between theoretical computational geometry and practical machine learning. He is specialized in developing software for scalable data compression\, based on core-set constructions with provable guarantees. His coresets were implemented in several start-ups\, banks\, super markets\, and internet search companies over the recent years\, to name just a few. When he is not working\, Dan is building robots and trains from Lego with his very own coresets\, Ariel and Eleanor.

SUMMARY:Vibration Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensor Networks\, Nov 9
DESCRIPTION:Wireless sensor networks have huge potential to improve efficiency and quality of manufacturing operations\, enable smart grid applications\, and enable demand response/smart buildings\, among other exciting applications. Ubiquitous sensor networks would allow two-way communication\, real-time remote monitoring\, and rapid response to changing conditions. Consider the difference between landline telephones and smart phones to imagine how wireless sensing networks might transform infrastructure\, energy\, and manufacturing. However\, current wireless sensor nodes are expensive to maintain as batteries die and need to be replaced\, and the nodes are often very difficult to install. Energy harvesting has the potential to resolve these issues and enable a stick-on\, set it and forget it type of node. \n                This talk will highlight the different types of energy harvesting research going on in our group\, giving a brief overview of how each technology works and when it might be used. I will then focus in on piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting\, which is the subject of my research. I will discuss experimental results of a MEMS harvester tested on machinery\, optimization of the harvester\, and integration of the energy harvester with energy storage. Finally\, I will present a novel resonator design that is able to passively self-tune its frequency to match the input vibration. \n                ——– \n                Live broadcast at \n                .

SUMMARY:ITS Friday Seminar – Connecting Cars to the Cloud\, Nov 9
DESCRIPTION:Today\, almost none of the cars on the road are internet-connected. Automatic has built a product to do that right now\, which leverages the smartphones people already have – allowing people to write apps for their cars. Automatic connects to cars and learns how people drive and how their cars operate. Drivers gain insight into how they drive and how their car works so they can save money and drive more safely and efficiently. Drivers also learn about their engine status and the condition of their car. Behavior change techniques learned from research at UC Berkeley are incorporated into the product to provide driving feedback and gently nudges drivers to be safer and more efficient. This seminar will talk about Automatic as a platform to collect data and influence behavior and look at potential applications in an internet-enabled car.

DESCRIPTION:Drawing on examples from her past and current research\, Mary Gray talks about both responding to recent provocations about the role of “big data” in human communication research and technology studies and outline the value of anthropology\, as a particular kind of “big data\,” that warrants more attention. \n                She will argue for attending to different kinds of data (from the statistically to the ethnographically significant)\, more collaborative approaches to how researchers arrive at what they (think they) know\, and critical analysis of the cultural assumptions embedded in the data we collect. \n                Mary L. Gray is Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research New England and Associate Professor of Communication and Culture at Indiana University. Her work focuses on how people use digital and social media in everyday ways to shape their social identities and create spaces for themselves.

SUMMARY:Achieving Climate Change Goals from Transportation and Land Use Planning in California\, Nov 14
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rodier will demonstrate how emerging information technology in the areas of transportation and land use planning can be used to inform policy design and monitoring frameworks needed to implement California’s climate change laws. New data and modeling technology developed for state of California is applied to understand the magnitude of currently planned land use and transportation policies\, the sensitivity of vehicle travel to specific demographic trends\, and geographic disparities in the effects of auto pricing policies. The results provide insight into key metrics for monitoring policy implementation and changes in demographic trends that could undermine achievement of greenhouse gas reduction goals as well as policy interventions to redress negative impacts of auto pricing policies. \n                Biography: \n                Caroline Rodier is the Associate Director of the Urban Land Use and Transportation Center (ULTRANS) at the University of California at Davis. Her major areas of research include transportation and land use planning and environmental policy analysis. Her interests include the development and application of land use and transport models. At ULTRANS\, she manages the development of two California statewide models\, an activity based microsimulation travel model (CSTDM) and a spatial economic model (PECAS)\, as well as an activity based microsimulation travel model for the San Joaquin Valley region. She previously served as a Senior Researcher at the University of California at Berkeley\, where she evaluated behavioral effects of new transportation technology. She has designed and implemented research evaluation programs for transit and truck smart parking systems\, shared-use low-speed modes\, and automated speed enforcement systems. She is the Chair of the Transportation Research Board’s Committee on Emerging and Innovative Public Transport and Technologies. She holds a B.A. in US History from Barnard College at Columbia University and a M.S. in Community Development and Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of California at Davis. \n                ————– \n                All talks may be viewed on our \n                The schedule for the semester can be found on the \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 595B
