  1. Founding Corporate MembersMeeting June 11, 2002Quo Vadis CITRIS? by Ruzena Bajcsy

  2. Goals for Today • Inform you on where we are and where we are going • Seek your advice on the intellectual agenda for CITRIS in the following areas: • Organization • Resources • Interaction between: • FCMs and the UC CITRIS alliance • UC CITRIS and the state of California • UC CITRIS and the universe

  3. CITRIS Operating Income StatementMay 31, 2002 • Operating Revenue 1,328,254 54% • Research Revenue 1,129,502 46% Total revenue 2,457,756 • Operating Expenses 731,339 40% • Research Expenses 1,088,595 60% Total expenses 1,819,934 Net surplus <deficit> 637,822

  4. Current and Near Term Space • Intel Lab in Power Bar Building on Shattuck • CommerceNet incubator at Bancroft and Shattuck • Hearst Mining (August 2002) • BID (Berkeley Institute of Design) • Cory Renovation • At 20K ASF, by summer 2003

  5. The New CITRIS Building • Construction will begin in summer 2003 • Architectural plans are well underway • It will house the Microfabrication Laboratory (Professor Howe will give more details) • Remaining space will be allocated to other CITRIS related projects

  6. Societal-Scale Applications Applications Pull New Distributed System Architectures New Sensors/actuators Wireless communication Security and Reliability Human/Computer interaction Technology Push Technological Breakthroughs CITRIS Scientific Strategy Societal-Scale Applications Societal-Scale Applications Sensing and actuation Huge Scale Can’t fail

  7. Technology Invention in a Social Context: Quality of Life Impact • Energy Efficiency • Transportation Planning • EducatioTechnology Invention in a Social Context: Quality of Life Impact • Energy Efficiency • Transportation Planning • Education

  8. Technology Invention in a Social Context: Quality of Life Impact • Monitoring Health Care • Land and Environment • Disaster Response

  9. Core Technologies Applications The CITRIS Model • Initially Leverage Existing • Expertise on campuses • Distributed Info Systems • Micro sensors/actuators • Human-Comp Interaction • Prototype Deployment Societal-Scale Information Systems (SIS) Foundations • Reliablity • Availability • Security, • Algorithms • Social, policy issues

  10. CITRIS Applications • Saving Energy – Arens • Transportation Systems – Demmel • SensorNets and their many applications – Culler • We are now exploring the current efforts in Security, Privacy and Critical Infrastructure Protection to Global Security in discussions with: • UCB Dean of Public Policy • Institute of International Studies • UC Davis Institute on Bioterrorism

  11. CITRIS Applications (2) • Smart Classrooms – Paul Wright • Dealing with Data Sets – Wilensky and Varian • In addition to the data sets work you will hear about - we are exploring with UC museums how to design easy access to their various collections • Large Networks – Howe and Yoo • In addition to large networks we are exploring applications for telemedicine (surgery)

  12. Massive Cluster Clusters Gigabit Ethernet “Server” Scalable, Reliable, Secure Services “Client” Information Appliances MEMS Sensors Societal-Scale Systems Secure, non-stop utility Diverse components Adapts to interfaces/users Always connected

  14. Where Can CITRIS Make a Difference? • In deployment of IT research results on LARGE SCALE (which cannot be implemented or deployed by one or two faculty members) • In deployment of IT in societal problems

  15. What Does This Require? • Setting up large test beds and/or • Providing the glue between existing test beds/data sets • Sustained support for Engineering staff!

  16. Examples • Summer 2002 we are installing 300 MOTEs in all 6 floors of Cory Hall, connected to adhoc wireless network, measuring light and temperature • Final results from each floor will be transmitted to a secure UCB website in physical plant • Network will serve as research infrastructure for other CITRIS sensor projects • The vision is to analyze this data and provide for feedback control • Goal is to spread network to all of Engineering and ultimately all of UCB

  17. We Seek Your Advice on the Following Issues • Improving cooperation within the Northern California UC alliance (sharing of resources, facilities, students, visitors…) • Increased communication between the CISIs and Sacramento • How to respond to world-wide requests from Universities and their local corporations regarding CITRIS collaboration

  18. What Does CITRIS Need? • More Industrial Partners • How do we increase the number of supporting corporations • Platinum Corporate Members? • Associate Corporate Members? • We are soliciting not just your advice, but also your approval on reasonable engagement models for new corporate members and outside Universities seeking to partner with CITRIS
