SUMMARY:Pan-Optics: Emerging Perspectives on Visual Privacy and Surveillance\, Mar 6
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will bring together scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines to discuss privacy protections\, surveillance methods\, and modes of resistance in a digital age. The program will feature two keynote addresses and two panel discussions that will explore emerging surveillance technologies and applications across a range of contexts\, and then turn to resistant strategies employed by individuals and organizations in response. \n———–\nAdvances in drone aircraft\, networked cameras\, and recent disclosures about the NSA’s international and domestic surveillance activities have stimulated public protests\, outrage from activists\, and new policy discussions among elected leaders. This symposium will highlight emerging perspectives on visual privacy and consider the state of the art from a variety of disciplines and professions\, including technology\, journalism\, filmmaking and the arts. \nThough traditionally considered separate domains\, visual and digital surveillance practices are being combined as machine vision\, facial recognition and other technologies become more sophisticated and interoperable. Institutional surveillance by semi-autonomous drones and remote cameras\, citizen video monitoring\, and incessant photo-sharing and tagging on social networks enable perpetual documentation. The same tools can be used for both transparency and repression.

SUMMARY:TRUST Security Seminar\, Mar 6
DESCRIPTION:We are in the age of networks and networked systems: communication\, transportation\, economic\, biological\, healthcare\, educational\, human\, social\, web-based\, etc. This evolution and reality have created unprecedented advances and are impacting every aspect of life and work. However\, many of these advances\, and resulting expanding markets\, are critically endangered by weaknesses in security\, integrity and trust. We investigate the complex and polymorphic subject of trust in these distributed systems and describe a new framework using multiple partially ordered semirings for analyzing reputation and trust establishment\, dynamics as well as “composite trust”. This framework is inspired by thinking of trust problems as “path problems” in networks. Next we describe our work based on constrained coalitional games towards understanding the role of trust in collaboration and social networks. We describe several specific applications of these methods in securing distributed inference systems\, sensor networks for power grids\, wireless network routing protocols\, distributed control systems. We close by describing challenges and future research directions. \nJohn Baras received his B.S. in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens\, Greece\, 1970 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University 1971\, 1973. Since 1973 he has been with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department\, and the Applied Mathematics Faculty\, at the University of Maryland College Park. Since 2000 he has been a faculty member in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering and since 2014 a faculty member in the Mechanical Engineering Department. He was the Founding Director of the Institute for Systems Research (ISR) from 1985 to 1991. Since 1991\, he has been the Director of the Maryland Center for Hybrid Networks (HYNET). Since 2013\, he has been Guest Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)\, Sweden. Baras is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. He received the 1980 George Axelby Prize from the IEEE Control Systems Society and the 2006 Leonard Abraham Prize from the IEEE Communications Society. Professor Baras’ research interests include control\, communication and computing systems.

SUMMARY:Pan-Optics: Perspectives on Digital Privacy and Surveillance
DESCRIPTION:Advances in drone aircraft\, networked cameras\, and recent disclosures about the NSA’s international and domestic surveillance activities have stimulated public protests\, outrage from activists\, and new policy discussions among elected leaders. This symposium will highlight emerging perspectives on visual privacy and consider the state of the art from a variety of disciplines and professions\, including technology\, journalism\, filmmaking and the arts. Though traditionally considered separate domains\, visual and digital surveillance practices are being combined as machine vision\, facial recognition and other technologies become more sophisticated and interoperable. Institutional surveillance by semi-autonomous drones and remote cameras\, citizen video monitoring\, and incessant photo-sharing and tagging on social networks enable perpetual documentation. The same tools can be used for both transparency and repression. \nThis symposium will bring together scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines to discuss privacy protections\, surveillance methods\, and modes of resistance in a digital age.

The increasing ubiquity of mobile devices\, popularity of sharing images through social media\, and powerful analytic software used by social networking companies and other corporations require new policy considerations. Panelists will explore the existing technological threats to individual privacy\, the extent to which new tools might be safeguarded against misuse by states and corporations\, and security concerns posed for both the public and private citizen. \n1:45 Coffee Break \n2-3:30 Panel 2 Creative Resistance: Reclaiming Citizen Power through Social Media & the Arts \n\nKatherine Chandler\, UCB Department of Rhetoric\, Berkeley Center for New Media\nKen Goldberg\, Faculty Director\, CITRIS Data & Democracy Initiative\, The Rashomon Project\nColin Milburn\, Director\, Mellon Research Initiative in Digital Cultures\, UC Davis\nKriss Ravetto\, Director\, Mellon Research Initiative in Digital Cultures\, UC Davis\nJulia Scher\, Multimedia Artist\n\nThe afternoon panel will transition from policy to response. To what extent are individuals responsible for safeguarding their own privacy? Do groups like Anonymous contribute to greater transparency or instead offer an alibi for further intrusions on the part of governments and corporations? How can the visual and performing arts call attention to the shifting landscape of visual surveillance and highlight new cultural practices and expectations of privacy? \n3:30-4:15 Keynote \nTrevor Paglen\, artist\, social scientist and author of Invisible: Covert Operations and Classified Landscapes Introduced by Kris Fallon\, Visiting Assistant\, Professor\, UC Davis \n  \n  \n4:15 Closing Remarks by Camille Crittenden\, Director\, CITRIS Data and Democracy Initiative \n4:30 Adjourn \n—-\nPresenting organizations \n       \n\nCITRIS\nData & Democracy Initiative\nUC Davis Mellon Research Initiative in Digital Cultures\n\nA Satellite Event of              Hosted in conjunction with  \nCo-sponsors \n                  \n\nProgram on Liberation Technology\, Center on Democracy\, Development and the Rule of Law\, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies\, Stanford\nAccess\nHuman Rights Center\, Berkeley Law\nSamuelson Clinic for Law\, Technology & Public Policy\, Berkeley Law\nThe Doreen B.

SUMMARY:OpenROV: Open Source Underwater Robots for Exploration and Education\, Mar 19
DESCRIPTION:OpenROV is a open-source underwater robot. But it’s so much more. It’s also a community of people who are working together to create more accessible\, affordable\, and awesome tools for underwater exploration. \n \n  \n  \nThe backbone of the project is the global community of DIY ocean explorers who are working\, tinkering and improving the OpenROV design. The community ranges from professional ocean engineers to hobbyists\, software developers to students. It’s a welcoming community and everyone’s feedback and input is valued. \nThe project started in a garage in Cupertino\, with a few guys who wanted to explore an underwater cave. After finding a global community of co-developers on Kickstarter\, the project has evolved into a network of connected devices\, exploring the oceans and lakes of the world. \n————–\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

SUMMARY:Big Data: Values and Governance\, Apr 1
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)\, the UC Berkeley School of Information\, and the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. \n This workshop is the last in a series of three events co-hosted by the OSTP and academic institutions across the country in response to President Obama’s call for a review of privacy issues in the context of increased digital information and the computing power to process it. \n Advance registration required. The event will also be live-streamed online. \n About the Workshop \n This workshop will examine the policy and governance questions raised by the use of large and complex data sets and sophisticated analytics to fuel decision-making across all sectors of the economy\, academia and government. The event will feature a series of panel discussions\, a closing roundtable\, and keynote address. \n The goal of this workshop is to broaden the policy conversation along two dimensions. First\, the workshop will explore the range of values that may be challenged by the growing use of big data techniques. \n These values include: \n (1) A variety of privacy-related values\, including control over both personal information and physical being\, and autonomy in decision-making; \n (2) Anti-discrimination values\, including concerns about preserving fairness in an economic and political environment shaped by the growing technological capabilities to store and analyze data; and \n (3) Concerns about democratic values\, accountability\, and social cohesion where data-driven “personalization” fosters in an increasingly fragmented society. \n Second\, the workshop will explore the range of mechanisms — regulatory\, professional\, and organizational — that can help ensure these values are protected. After identifying both the values at issue and the current instruments and practices for protecting those values\, participants will seek to identify gaps between the two. This initial work will inform the conversation around fostering a big data environment that allows society to benefit from the insights of big data in a manner that remains true to societal values of individual privacy\, democracy\, and fairness. \n Previous Workshops Hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy  \n Big Data Privacy: Advancing the State of the Art in Technology and Practice (March 3\, 2014) \n Organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology \n View webcast \n The Social\, Cultural and Ethical Implications of Big Data (March 17\, 2014) \n Organized by the Data & Society Research Institute and New York University’s Information Law Institute \n Webcast will be posted after the workshop

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.
