On Becoming an Electric Society

• Migration to Cities• Availability of

services• Density of trade

opportunities• Clean Air Mandates• Scarcity of Water

Some ‘electric

’ outcom

es

• Ubiquitous data economy

• Combustion Free Zones• Zero Energy Buildings• Local and Near Local

Renewable Energy• Active management of

all servicesmore, 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 securitypeople 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 CommunitiesHow 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 BehavioursHow can novel human-environment interfaces encourage sustainable behaviours in the long term after the subsidies run out?

=Unequaled cooperative energy management between occupants and building managers!

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 behaviorsIt 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 actmore, larger cities are the trend; energy efficiency, sustainable living and safety must be addressed nowresearch 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
