SUMMARY:Open Source Robotics\, Feb 1
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n                Over the next 10 years\, personal robots (as opposed to industrial robots) have the potential to improve people’s lives by taking automation to a new level. Like personal computers of 30 years ago\, the personal robotics industry will take off and become an economic engine. But robotics is a complex\, multidisciplinary field\, and fielding successful applications requires expertise ranging from hardware (mechanical and electrical) to social science. By working together on an open source software platform\, we can accelerate progress in the field and more quickly field successful applications. Willow Garage has partnered with Stanford University and many other top robotics laboratories around the world to create such an open source code base. The robot operating system\, ROS\, is quickly becoming the de facto platform for robotics research. I will argue that most if not all robotics companies should join the ROS bandwagon\, as a way to move the entire industry forward quickly.

SUMMARY:Community-Based Research Across Disciplines\, Feb 2
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion with scholars from diverse disciplines whose research involves community collaboration.* How do notions of CBPR\, Engaged Scholarship\, PAR\, Community Engaged Planning\, etc. vary by discipline and department? How is such work conceptualized\, theorized and practiced in different fields? What current projects are faculty and graduate students working on? This workshop will seek to answer these questions through a panel discussion with faculty and graduate students from a diverse set of disciplines to share what engaged scholarship looks like in their field\, including examples from their own teaching and scholarship. \n                **Snacks will be provided!** \n                Panelists: \n                • Christina Brandom (Doctoral Student\, School of Social Welfare) \n                • Dr. Rachel Morello-Frosch (Professor\, Environmental Science\, Policy and Management) \n                • Dr. Na’ilah Suad Nasir (Professor\, Department of African American Studies) \n                • Dr. Victoria Robinson (Lecturer\, Department of Ethnic Studies & Coordinator\, American Cultures Center) \n                Advance RSVP is requested but not required — we want to get an estimate of the # attendees so we can provide enough food. Please RSVP to suzanakin@berkeley.edu. \n                *Community-engaged scholarship goes by many different names: Community-based participatory research (CBPR); Participatory action research (PAR); Participatory planning; Service learning courses\, etc. Whatever terms we all use\, each involves collaborations with communities outside academia for research and/or teaching. \n                This event is sponsored by the Cal Corps Public Service Center: http://publicservice.berkeley.edu.

SUMMARY:Tackling the Load from Hell: Cooling Efficiency Research at UC Davis WCEC\, Feb 3
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                The Western Cooling Efficiency Center was started about 5 years ago as the cornerstone of the Energy Efficiency Center at the University of California at Davis. The mission of the center is to effect change in the energy performance of cooling systems in hot dry climates like California\, in particular on the peak electricity demand associated with said cooling. This seminar will provide an overview of various research projects and initiatives at the WCEC. As rooftop packaged HVAC systems (RTUs) perform a large fraction of cooling and heating of non-residential buildings\, they were one of the first targets for Center. The seminar will cover the rationale and technical basis for the Western Cooling Challenge (WCC)\, which provides energy performance targets that are roughly 50% better than Department of Energy standards. Results of laboratory and field tests on WCC equipment will be presented\, as will a related initiative to improve the performance of RTUs that are not old enough to replace. Research topics that will be covered include recent work on the issues associated with small-scale\, on-site water use within cooling systems\, as well as two new research projects at the center: a) the use of encapsulated phase change materials in hydronic distribution systems\, and b) the application of an aerosol based technology for sealing leaks in building envelopes.

SUMMARY:Japan's IT Strategy: Successes and Failures\, Feb 6
DESCRIPTION:Japan’s IT strategy has seen a repetitive cycle of successes and failures every five years. Between 1990 and 1995\, Japan already established Internet access for universities and research centers\, which began the foundational structure towards an information society. However\, despite this advancement in information technology and the rapid increase of individual Internet users through the launching of Windows 95\, IT implementation on the industry and administrative organization levels fell gravely behind by the year 2000. \n                To break through the slump\, the IT Strategic Headquarters was established within the Cabinet Office\, and the government and the private sector collaborated to promote the \n                . As a result\, by 2005 Japan boasted the world’s leading broadband network and even leaped into the implementation of e-commerce and trading. \n                With these IT infrastructures in place\, it was expected for information technology to quickly follow and spread through all aspects of society. However\, due to the conservative nature of the medical\, educational and administrative organizations\, Japan was unable to keep up with continuing changes\, finding itself falling behind again over the subsequent five years. \n                In this lecture\, Murai will examine these successes and failures of Japan’s IT strategy\, and discuss what new plans and goals to set based on these past experiences and lessons. \n                —————- \n                Jun Murai\, Ph.D. \n                Dean/Professor\, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies\, Keio University \n                Founder of WIDE Project \n                Chair of AI3 Project \n                Chair of SOI Asia Project \n                Born in March 1955 in Tokyo. \n                Graduated Keio University in 1979\, Department of Mathematics\, Faculty of Science and Technology. \n                He received M.S. for Computer Science from Keio University in 1981\, and received his Ph.D. in Computer Science\, Keio University in 1987. \n                Specialized in computer science\, computer network and computer communication. \n                He is currently the Dean\, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies\, Keio University since October 2009. \n                Former director of WIDE project from 1988-2010.3 \n                Former Vice-President of Keio University from May 2005 to May 2009. \n                He was an Executive Director of the Keio Research Institute at SFC\, Keio University from 1999 to 2005. \n                He is appointed as one of the advisory member of IT Strategy Headquarters established within the Cabinet of Japan from August 2000 to July 2009\, and the Information Security Policy Council established within the Cabinet of Japan since May 2005\, a member of Science Council of Japan from October 2005. \n                A visiting professor at Tsinghua University\, Beijing since September 2007. \n                His recent publications include “Explorers! of the Wonderful Internet”\, Tarojirosha Editus Co.\, Ltd.

SUMMARY:History and Theory of New Media: Adrian Johns (UChicago)\, Feb 9
DESCRIPTION:In 2011-12\, arguments over the “Protect IP”/”Stop Online Piracy” (SOPA) bills in Congress have reignited debate about media piracy and its policing. The content industry has found itself at loggerheads with the digital technology industry\, and both sides have maintained that the implications of their conflict are fundamental: depending on whom one believes\, either the Internet or the creative economy may face destruction. Fierce as it has been\, the debate has been both too narrow and too shallow. In fact\, these contentions need to be seen as the latest manifestations of a long-term historical process that has seen policing and “piracy” pitted against each other. The place where their conflict has really occurred\, moreover\, is not in law and policy but in technology and everyday life. As a result\, although it remains largely invisible to the public\, this conflict has substantially shaped many of the everyday practices that constitute our culture of information. A reconciliation of the information society and the good society will therefore depend on our ability not just to affect legislation like SOPA\, but to understand the history that lies behind such laws and drives them forward. \n                Adrian Johns is Allan Grant Maclear Professor in the Department of History at the University of Chicago\, where he also chairs the graduate program in Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science. Prior to working at Chicago he was educated at Cambridge University and taught at Cambridge\, Caltech\, and UCSD. He is the author of “The Nature of the Book: Print and Knowledge in the Making” (1998)\, “Piracy: The Intellectual Property Wars from Gutenberg to Gates” (2009)\, and “Death of a Pirate: British Radio and the Making of the Information Age” (2010). He is currently at work on a study of the industry that has arisen to uphold information and intellectual property worldwide. \n                The History and Theory of New Media series is produced by the Berkeley Center for New Media with support from CITRIS (The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society). This lecture is co-sponsored with the Katharine Bixby Hotchkis Chair in English.

SUMMARY:Electric Grid Modernization: How You Can Help Make a Smarter Grid\, Feb 10
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                The National Academy of Engineering hailed the electric power grid as the 20th century’s engineering innovation most beneficial to our civilization. A 21st century electric system is essential to America’s ability to lead the world and create jobs in the clean-energy economy of the future. Specifically\, California is embarking on an effort to further modernize its electric grid\, often referred to as developing a Smart Grid\, in order to support many of California’s overall energy and sustainability policies\, including Governor Brown’s goal to install 12\,000 MW of renewable distributed generation by 2020. The California electric investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have recently developed Smart Grid Deployment Plans\, which outline their grid modernization visions. At the national level\, there is notable ongoing work related to interoperability and other Smart Grid standards\, such as by the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) and the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE). \n                By linking information technologies with the electric power grid\, the Smart Grid promises many benefits\, including increased energy efficiency\, reduced carbon emissions\, and improved power reliability. Yet there are also many technical challenges to be overcome\, particularly in the areas of electric reliability and resiliency\, power quality\, and workforce and public safety. There is an urgent need and a strong demand for adequately trained electric power and energy engineers in both traditional power engineering and information technology. There is also an opportunity for the University of California to fulfill an important role to provide a holistic systems engineering vision to solve industry challenges and to cost-effectively build California’s 21st century electric power grid.

DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \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 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Archival institutions\, like The Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley\, play a vital role in the well-being of a democratic society. Their primary duties have been to preserve the history of human-kind and provide evidence of the past. The means of communication over several thousand years have varied in format and genre\, from stone carvings to electronic records. And the concept of enduring value has evolved in close parallel with changes in historical interpretation. \n                The scope of collection management activities with archival collections have likewise changed and broadened due to advances in technology. With the advent of desktop computing\, born-digital records have challenged the long-held precepts of recordkeeping and preservation. Digital imaging and conversion of traditional communication formats has allowed vast quantities of “hidden” materials to be shared with a wider and more diverse audience through the Internet. \n                Various technological solutions have arisen to manage and make accessible archival collections\, some successful and some not. The presentation will review the major technological achievements to date and discuss current trends and future possibilities. This conversation will include a review of mass digitization efforts\, the application of Library of Congress MARC 21 and EAD XML\, open-source collection management tools like Archivist’s Toolkit\, current developments in Electronic Document/Records Management Systems (EDRMS)\, the potential of digital forensics\, as well as\, the role of digital curation\, the continuum model\, and other theoretical advances.

SUMMARY:Automated Demand Response to Enable the Integration of Renewable Resources\, Feb 17
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \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 506 \n                Abstract: \n                This talk will discuss how fast automated demand response can help mitigate grid balancing challenges introduced by upcoming increases in intermittent renewable generation resources in an environmentally friendly and cost effective manner. There are many different types of ancillary services necessary to keep the electric grid in balance; non-spinning reserves and regulation are among the most important. To date\, only pilot scale field tests using AutoDR for these types of ancillary services. Though AutoDR may not be suitable for all forms of ancillary services\, the lower installed cost of AutoDR indicates that it should be considered for use in the time domains and capacities for which it is applicable. By combining AutoDR with traditional gas fired thermal generation and battery storage technologies\, an optimal mix of generation\, AutoDR and storage should be considered.

SUMMARY:Technology Future Shock: Society\, Policy and Innovation in the Digital World\, Feb 22
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Population growth and shifting demographics\, rising global energy demand and climate change\, personalized medicine and exploding health care costs\, global communications and digital empowerment\, workforce shifts and global economics – these and other societal factors are reshaping our world. These trends are both influenced and driven by the rise of inexpensive and now ubiquitous hardware and software\, massive social networks and wireless communications\, the consumerization of information technology\, ubiquitous sensors and explosive data growth (“big data”)\, and new models of human-computer interaction. \n                The rapid rate of technical change is challenging the ability of our social structures to adapt in new and novel\, and the resulting “future shock” has profound implications for all of us. This talk will examine both the technical trends and their policy implications\, spanning Internet governance\, telecommunications and global spectrum policy\, privacy and security\, research and innovation\, and environmental sustainability.

SUMMARY:Enabling Technologies For Residential Demand Response\, Feb 24
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Demand Response (DR) and Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing refer to programs that offer incentives for consumers who curtail their energy use during times of peak demand. In this talk\, we will present an integrated solution to predict and re-engineer the aggregate energy demand (e.g.\, peak load reduction and shift) from a group of residential consumers in a locality at a given day/time. We will explore expanding demand response to all residential power loads by dynamically scheduling and controlling appliances in the dwelling unit in a closed loop time-of-use pricing program. A decision-support system will be presented to forecast power demand in the home and enable the user to save energy by recommending optimal run time schedules for appliances\, given user constraints and time-of-use pricing from the utility company. A Master Home Energy controller developed to execute the appliance run time schedules will be introduced. Smart appliance nodes developed to take advantage of time-of-use pricing will be discussed.
