REU Site: SUPERB-Information Technology for Sustainability

加州大学伯克利分校电气工程和计算机科学系(EECS)2011-2013年的CEISREU网站侧重于卓越的--信息技术促进可持续发展(ITS)。能源是实现可持续发展所有方面的跳板；能源生产和使用是我们时代最关键的技术挑战之一。我们REU网站的能源和可持续发展主题为学生提供了参与解决他们这一代人和未来的关键问题的机会。21世纪的能源基础设施是一个计算机系统问题。IT促进可持续发展研究主题包括一系列研究项目，包括建筑系统的优化控制；高能效空中交通控制；评估交通对健康影响的移动传感；减少建筑物浪费的能源管理系统；以及用于能源管理的个性化实时足迹跟踪。这一研究主题为本科生提供了一个参与新研究的基本机会，这些研究结合了智力优势和技术机会，具有非常广泛的影响(例如改善环境和提高人们生活质量的可能性)。

The UC Berkeley Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) CISE REU site 2011-2013 focuses on SUPERB-Information Technology for Sustainability (ITS). Energy is a springboard to all aspects of sustainability; energy production and use represent one of the most critical technological challenges of our era. The energy and sustainability theme of our REU site offers students the chance to engage in the solution of a crucial problem for their generation and beyond. Energy infrastructure for the 21st Century is a computing systems problem. The IT for Sustainability research theme includes a range of research projects including optimal control of building systems; energy efficient air traffic control; mobile sensing to assess health impacts of traffic; energy management systems to reduce waste in buildings; and personalized real-time footprint tracking for energy management. This research theme presents a basic opportunity for undergraduates to get involved in new research that combines intellectual merit and technical opportunities with very broad impact (such as the possibility of improving the environment and the quality of people's lives).
