Learn more about the exciting talks on energy efficiency this semester at CITRIS
The fall series is now available.
Direct solar energy conversion to storable fuels offers a promising route toward less reliance on fossil fuels.
SRI International has been described as the birthplace of some of Silicon Valley’s most important innovations. With a corporate commitment to solving important problems, this talk will cover why SRI believes ensuring affordable, clean, and dependable energy supplies is one of the world’s important problems, highlight current energy projects, and describe SRI’s process for bringing its innovations to market.
The BERC Fall Gala is the signature fundraising event for Berkeley’s energy and resources community, bringing together industry and alumni with students and faculty to celebrate BERC’s fifth anniversary and to kick off the 2010-11 academic year.
Who is responsible for the harm and risk of security flaws? The advent of worldwide networks such as the internet made software security (or the lack of software security) became a problem of international proportions. There are no mathematical/statistical risk models available today to assess networked systems with interdependent failures. Without this tool, decision-makers are bound to overinvest in activities that don’t generate the desired return on investment or under invest on mitigations, risking dreadful consequences. Experience suggests that no party is solely responsible for the harm and risk of software security flaws but a model of partial responsibility can only emerge once the duties and motivations of all parties are examine and understood. State of the art practices in software development won’t guarantee products free of flaws.
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a venerable discipline, with significant research papers going back to the early 1950’s. Given this long history, ASR is often viewed as a mature field. However, like human beings, a research topic can be old without being mature.
What will the Internet be like in 2025? How much bigger will it have grown from today’s 2 billion users and $3 trillion market? Will it have achieved its full potential to connect the world’s entire population in ways that advance global prosperity, business productivity, education and social interaction?

Return-oriented programming is an attack technique that induces arbitrary behavior in the compromised program without injecting new code into its address space. A return-oriented attack combines short sequences of instructions from a target program’s executable image into a Turing-complete set of combinators, called “gadgets,” from which any desired functionality can be synthesized.
