2. On Becoming an Electric Society
Migration to Cities
Availability of services
Density of trade opportunities
Clean Air Mandates
Scarcity of Water
Ubiquitous data economy
Combustion Free Zones
Zero Energy Buildings
Local and Near Local Renewable Energy
Active management of all services
Some ‘electric’ outcomes
more, larger cities are the trend; energy efficiency, sustainable living and safety must be addressed now

3. 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

4. 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?
Enabling Connected Communities
Harnessing the Invisible City
How can technology help recognize, leverage, and support the out-of-sight, hidden or forgotten resources of urban environments?

Sustaining Sustainable Behaviours
How can novel human-environment interfaces encourage sustainable behaviours in the long term after the subsidies run out?

7. 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

8. 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?

9. 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
it is imperative that Sustainable City technologies also preserve privacy and are secure against disasters and attack
“A CPS may not harm a human, or, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm.” How do we validate and enforce?
