  1. Calit2: The Path ForwardEnvironmental Technical Working Group Environmental Technical Working Group Kick-Off September 25, 2009 Dr. Larry Smarr Director, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology Harry E. Gruber Professor, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering, UCSD

  2. Today’s Meeting Agenda • 10:00-10:30 Roundtable Introductions • Who Are You, What Do You Do, How Does it Relate to Environmental thrust. • Each person limited to 1 minutes! • 10:30-11:00 Planning Process Overview • Overview of Strategic Planning Process, Desired Output, Timeline • Questions and Answers on Process • 11:00-11:45 Technical Brainstorming [Initial Discussion] • What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for Calit2 in Env? • What are the application opportunities in this thrust in next 5-10 years? • What technologies are needed to realize the application opportunities? • 11:45-12:00 Leadership of Technical Working Group • Nominations/Volunteer for leadership of TWG • Decisions on leadership will be made after the meeting and communicated to the working group prior to the next meeting.

  3. Calit2 Continues to Pursue Its Initial Mission: Envisioning How the Extension of Innovative Telecommunications and Information Technologies Throughout the Physical World will Transform Critical Applications Important to the California Economy and its Citizens’ Quality Of Life. Calit2 is a University of California “Institutional Innovation” Experiment on How to Invent a Persistent Collaborative Research and Education Environment that Provides Insight into How the UC, a Major Research University, Might Evolve in the Future. Calit2 Review Report: p.1

  4. Calit2 Must Update Its Vision for the Next Decadeand Answer the President’s Call “We need to do a better job of telling our story in Sacramento — and beyond. I've made some 20 trips to the capital in the past year and will continue my advocacy. But frankly, I could use some help.” --UC President Yudof

  5. The Components on Which Calit2Can Build the Next 5-10 Years

  6. Principles for Developing the Path Forward Responsive to LARGE-SCALE SOCIETAL CHALLENGES in California and Beyond Articulates a Clear Five-Ten Year Vision of Significant Scientific or Technical Challenges Builds on Strength of Both Campuses and Expands as Needed to External Partners (Other Universities, National Laboratories, Etc) Engages Existing Centers, Large Grants, & Large Scale Calit2 Infrastructure Anchored in One Application Area, but Draws from The Institute’s Other Seven Application and Enabling Technologies Creates “At Scale” Living Laboratory Prototype that Demonstrates the Feasibility of Addressing the CHALLENGE

  7. Visual Timeline for Developing The Path Forward Campus Working Group Meetings Review of Technical Input October-November 2009 December 2009 Target for Reverse Town Hall Planning and Kick-Off September 2009 Review Cycle January 2010 CALit 2 DiV Councils CALIT2 Gov & AB COUNCIL A total of 48 working days for Technical Working Group Activities

  8. What Output Do We Want for the TWG? • Technical White Paper of Calit2 Opportunities in Environment • Maximum of 10 pages, high level vision, major stakeholders, needed technologies, Calit2 unique efforts, gap analysis (what do we have, what do we need to realize vision). • Executive Summary of Technical White Paper for Path Forward Document • Maximum of 3 pages, summarizes details of more technical oriented white paper. • Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats, Gap Analysis • Maximum 2 page document that summarizes SWOT and Gap conversation. • SWOT’s will be kept internal, not shared in public document.

  9. The Digital Transformation of Environment • Water, Fire, & Changing California Climate • Global Climate Change Drives Regional Climate Disruption • Common “Mirror World” of Southern California for Fire and Water Management • 3D Detailed Natural and Human Modified Environment • Wide-Spread Sensor Nets • Emergency Response to Disasters • Policy and Decision Support Tools

  10. Climate Change Will Pose Major Challenges to California in Water and Wildfires “It is likely that the changes in climate that San Diego is experiencing due to the warming of the region will increase the frequency and intensity of fires even more, making the region more vulnerable to devastating fires like the ones seen in 2003 and 2007.” California Applications Program (CAP) & The California Climate Change Center (CCCC) CAP/CCCC is directed from the Climate Research Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography
