SUMMARY:Queerness and Games Conference\, Oct 25
DESCRIPTION:The Queerness and Games Conference\nTheme: “Difference at Play”\nUC Berkeley\, October 25 and 26\, 2014\nqgcon.com // @qgcon // qgconference@gmail.com \nRegister at eventbrite. \nThe second annual Queerness and Games Conference (QGCon)\, hosted at UC Berkeley on October 25 and October 26\, 2014\, is happy to invite proposals for conference sessions now through June 15. Applicants will be notified by July 15. To submit\, see instructions below. \nNow in its second year\, QGCon is a free\, weekend-long\, interdisciplinary event. The goal of QGCon is to create an open and inclusive environment for discussing the intersection of video games and LGBTQ issues\, however you define them. QGCon brings together academics and game developers to foster dialogues that break traditional disciplinary boundaries. The QGCon organizers believe in the importance of creativity and play as tools for intellectual and personal exploration. We are particularly interested in broadening our focus to address issues of race and gender non-normativity\, and we encourage submissions from folks who have long gone underrepresented in games and the games industry. \nThe theme for this year’s QGcon is Difference at Play. This theme is designed to spark ideas\, not to limit them. Feel free to submit a session proposal even if your idea falls outside the theme. Some questions inspired by the theme might include: \n– What does it mean to play differently?\n– What does it mean to play at difference itself?\n– In what way can “difference” speaks to questions of race\, gender\, and sexuality for games and those who play them?\n– How do we define “mainstream” and how do we define “different”? \nOther questions related to queerness and games that speakers might consider include: \n– What does it mean to play queerly?\n– What does it mean to design queerly?\n– In what ways are queer characters depicted in games?\n– What is the place of queer gamers in larger gaming communities?\n– How is queerness perceived in the games industry?\n– What happens when we put queer studies in conversation with game studies? \nQGCon welcomes proposals from speakers of all backgrounds\, including but not limited to: game developers\, indie designers\, academics\, artists\, and activists. Potential session types include but are also not limited to: solo talks\, pair or group talks\, panels\, workshops\, live interviews\, microtalks\, and play sessions. Please feel free to be creative when envisioning your presentation.

SUMMARY:Image as Location\, Oct 22
DESCRIPTION:Knowing and seeing is not the same thing.\n — Regula Bochsler\, Artist \nWhen man-made images constitute the evidence of our environment and even our existence\, how is our perception of the world manipulated and shaped?  \nOur planet is wrapped in images. From stratospheric satellite stills to disembodied medical x-rays\, we use pictures to describe our environment with unprecedented frequency. Images have become the common language that allows us to not only understand our present landscape\, but also access the inaccessible. \nYet\, as Emmanuel Alloa wrote\, images are “re-articulations of a past that has never been [truly] present.” We discover the blank spaces\, the impenetrable margins of our world through what are essentially “testimonials.” We must ask ourselves then: what dangers and what possibilities arise from defining our location through image? \nState mandated degradation of pixelation on surveillance footage ensures that we are unable to perceive the evidence of drone strikes\, altering our perception of foreign policy. Meanwhile\, sublime hubble telescope imagery invokes the American West and our manifest destiny\, furthering space exploration. As ubiquitous street view technology allows us to encounter the fringes of a city — its dumps and mortuaries and scrap yards — forcing us to reckon with our urban landscape\, mapping interiors peels back the shadow of the real to reveal the traces of present time within the grand scale of oblivion. \nAre we better citizens of the planet surrounded by imagery? Do we understand our location in new\, exciting ways? Or has image rendered us strangers in a strange land? \nAt Image as Location\, an international group of experts discuss and visualize how images define locations. Through exhibitions\, conferences and workshops\, artists\, theorists\, and technologists from Europe and the Americas will question how we are shaped by the images of our world.  \nJoin us for a festival that will change how you see your environment — and don’t forget to bring your camera!

SUMMARY:The Technology of Access: Allowing People of Age to Vote for Themselves\, Oct 15
DESCRIPTION:Universal access is an important goal of technology. This talk examines several evolving voting technologies and their impact on persons with cognitive and physical disabilities. The research described will show how many of the accessibility opportunities for people of age could actually improve the performance of the voting population as a whole. \nWe will start with the premise that technology’s goal is to create access. In this context\, access should be contrasted with assistance. Technology should facilitate anyone legally permitted to vote to do so without help from another person. To the extent that we can remove the barriers to allow people to vote independently—so that their intentions can be recorded\, recognized\, and understood—we will reduce the need for and complications involved with having another person in the voting booth or penning an absentee ballot for the voter. \nBiography:\nTed Selker directs Research on Accessible Voting at University of California Berkeley. Dr. Selker spent 5 years as director of Considerate Systems research at Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley. He was also responsible for developing the campus’s research mission\, teaching HCI\, Android product design\, and research in voting with disabilities. \nBefore that\, he spent ten years as an associate Professor at the MIT Media Laboratory where he created the Context Aware Computing group\, co-directed the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project\, and directed the CIDI Kitchen of the future/ product design of the future project. His work is noted for creating demonstrations of a more considerate world in which intentions are recognized and respected in complex domains. \n———-\nLive broadcast at  http://video.citris.berkeley.edu/playlists/webcast.

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.

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: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.
