On Becoming an Electric

Society • Migration to Cities

• Availability of services

• Density of trade

opportunities

• Clean Air Mandates

• Scarcity of Water

Some

‘electric’

outcome

s

• Ubiquitous data economy

• Combustion Free Zones

• Zero Energy Buildings

• Local and Near Local

Renewable Energy

• Active management of all

services

more, larger cities are the trend; energy efficiency, sustainable living and safety must be addressed now

Energy & Sustainability

Research • Taking a fresh look at consumers of energy and how we

may use technology to inform consumers and improve

their sustainability footprint and their economic well

being.

• Investigating homes, buildings, communities and cities

• Focus on creating a platform for innovation around a well

sensed and actuated life that provides benefits,

opportunity and personal data security

people make better decisions and will develop better futures when enabled with information about their lives & the means to act

City as Platform

How we can sustain and maintain the scaled

adaptive systems necessary for the urban

environments of the future?

Harnessing the Invisible City

How can technology help

recognize, leverage, and

support the out-of-sight,

hidden or forgotten resources

of urban environments?

Enabling Connected Communities

How can technologies across the compute

continuum give us an opportunity to reinvent

new ideas of place and identity yet protect

privacy in a city of a billion sensors?

Sustaining Sustainable

Behaviours

How can novel human-

environment interfaces

encourage sustainable

behaviours in the long term

after the subsidies run out?

Securing Our Data, Machines and

Ourselves • There is a proliferation of devices/sensors in our lives –

15B connected to the Internet by 2015

• Many of these devices/sensors are going into un-managed or self-managed parts of the Internet

• The tidal wave of data coming off of devices/sensors is staggering

• Much of that data, although seemingly domain-specific, e.g., about Energy, can be easily mined for confidential information about the details of our lives and behaviors

It is imperative that Sustainable City technologies also preserve privacy and are secure against disasters and attack

Cyber Physical Blur

• “Data; Its not just for billing anymore”

– City Sensing: Water, Emergency Services, Sewer, Energy, Traffic, Public Safety, Pollution…

– Malicious, improper or just plain uninformed use of data can be fatal…

– Asimov’s 0th Law of Robotics “A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”

“A CPS may not harm a human, or, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm.” How do we validate and enforce?

In Conclusion… people make better decisions and will develop better futures when enabled with information about their lives & given the means to act

more, larger cities are the trend; energy efficiency, sustainable living and safety must be addressed now

research must address the city as a platform supporting the good of the citizens and their communities

“A CPS may not harm a human, or, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm.” How do we validate and enforce?

it is imperative that Sustainable City technologies also preserve privacy and are secure against disasters and attack
