Speaker: Dr. Janusz Marecki, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
Talk Title: Playing in the Dark: On Solving Single/Multistage Bayesian Stackelberg Games with Unknown Player Preferences
Abstract: Recent years have seen a rise in interest in applying game theoretic methods to real world domains such as public surveillance or infrastructure security wherein one player (the leader) chooses a strategy to commit to and waits for the other player (the follower) to respond. In arriving at optimal leader strategies in these domains, of critical importance is the leader's ability to act, often over prolonged periods of time, despite its limited knowledge of the preferences of the follower. In this talk I will first present a suite of efficient algorithms for solving single-stage Bayesian Stackelberg Games with distributional uncertainty over follower payoffs. I will then describe an efficient sampling based algorithm for solving multi-stage Bayesian Stackelberg Games where follower payoffs can initially be unknown. Finally, I will discuss the limitations of the proposed algorithms, in light of the novel business applications of Bayesian Stackelberg Games.
Biography: Janusz Marecki is a research staff member at the mathematical sciences department at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Janusz obtained his Ph.D in artificial intelligence form from University of Southern California and Dr.Sc in mathematical modeling from State Scientific and Research Institute of Information Infrastructure in Ukraine. Prior to joining IBM Research, Janusz was a research assistant at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research, a research associate at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and a lecturer at the Academy of Computer Sciences in Poland. His research interests are in reasoning under uncertainty in single/multiagent systems with an emphasis on planning with continuous resources in stochastic environments. He is an author of over 80 refereed publications and four patents.

"Enemy Number One": A Tour and Performance at the Villa Aurora
Tue, Oct 26, 2010 @ 12:00 PM - 05:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
*This trip is for current USC students only. You must use the provided transportation to participate. Space is limited and advance registration is required. RSVP at the event page http://web-app.usc.edu/ws/eo2/calendar/113/event/873329 beginning Thursday, September 30, at 9 a.m. Check-in for the event will begin at 11:15 a.m. on campus. Buses will depart at 12 p.m. and return to campus at 5 p.m. Lunch will be provided at check-in.
The USC Libraries are home to the papers and library of historical novelist Lion Feuchtwanger, who escaped his native Germany after Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933. Because he was an outspoken critic of the Nazi Party, the Nazis ordered his books burned and declared him âEnemy Number One.â The libraries recently published a new edition of Feuchtwangerâs The Devil in France, a memoir of his internment and escape from Nazi-occupied France. He wrote movingly about the political situation in Europe and his experiences as an exiled writer. He later escaped to Los Angeles, where Theodor Adorno, Bertolt Brecht, Fritz Lang, Thomas Mann and other German émigré artists and intellectuals gathered during World War II. Feuchtwangerâs story illuminates the struggles faced by artists who speak truth to power and endure exile from their native countries.
In conjunction with this new publication, USC students will have the opportunity to take an intimate look at Lion Feuchtwangerâs life in exile by visiting Villa Aurora, his former home in Pacific Palisades where he hosted figures like Charlie Chaplin, Thomas Mann and Billy Wilder. After a welcoming reception and tour, students will enjoy a staged reading of letters exchanged between Lion and his wife, Marta Feuchtwanger, from the 1930s and â40s. Acclaimed actor, producer and director Norman Lloyd and actress Nina Franoszek will play the parts of Lion and Marta.

Speaker: Matthew O Jackson, Eberle Professor of Economics/Stanford University
Talk Title: Network Patterns of Favor Exchange
Abstract: RSPV: Please email Helen Pitts by early Monday morning so she has a headcount for lunch.
We examine the exchange of favors when any two individuals in a society interact too infrequently to sustain exchange, but where the threat of losing multiple relationships can sustain exchange. We show that networks of favor exchange that are robust, in that deleted relationships only result in a local loss of favor exchange, are such that all links are "supported": Each pair of individuals exchanging favors have a common friend with whom they also exchange favors. We then examine a unique data set consisting of detailed social networks in 77 different rural villages in southern India to test the game theoretic predictions. We find levels of `support' that are consistent with the theory and significantly higher than a standard `clustering' measure.
We also find significantly higher support in favor networks than purely social networks.
Biography: Matthew O. Jackson is the Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Stanford (1988) and a B.A. from Princeton (1984), and served on the faculties of Northwestern University and Caltech before joining Stanford in 2006.
Jackson's research includes studies of social and economic networks, including game-theoretic studies of network formation, studies of the role of social networks in labor markets, social learning and diffusion, homophily, social mobility, friendship formation, and favor exchange, .
He has also made contributions to game theory, mechanism design and implementation theory, the study of war and conflict, and political economy.
Jackson is a fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and has received the Social Choice and Welfare Prize and Arrow Prize, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and from the Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences. He is co-editor of Games and Economic Behavior and has served on the boards of Econometrica and the Journal of Economic Theory, and serves on the councils of the Society for Social Choice and Welfare, the Econometric Society, and the Game Theory Society.

Talk Title: Efficient Routing in Vehicular Networks
Abstract: Vehicular ad hoc networks have received attention in recent years for two main reasons. First, there are a number of real-life applications that become possible in the presence of such an ad-hoc infrastructure, such as increasing road safety by reducing the number of accidents as well as reducing their impact in case of non-avoidable accidents, improving local traffic flow and efficiency of road traffic, and offering comfort and business applications to drivers and passengers. Second, it is now technically possible to build such a network. Recent developments in radios, coupled with significant research work in the area of mobile ad-hoc networks, make it likely to build such applications within 5 to 10 years.
While there has been significant effort to define applications, there are still technical challenges that need to be resolved. Perhaps the hardest is how to achieve communication in an environment where network nodes (vehicles) move so fast that the very concept of a wireless link between two nodes is meaningless for time scales larger than a few seconds, and where the density of the nodes can vary drastically, making the network intermittently connected.
To address this challenge, we propose using a new approach of routing that is tailored to the needs of vehicular ad hoc networks, termed mobility-assisted routing. In this seminar, we will introduce you to this new routing.

Wind Integration ----By All Means Available
Wed, Oct 27, 2010 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Eilyan Bitar, Graduate Student, University of California, Berkeley
Abstract:
There is an increasing interest in renewable energy production both from economic, security and environmental perspectives. The State of California has set a target of thirty-three percent penetration from all renewable sources by 2020. Wind energy will play a key role in realizing such aggressive targets. At today's modest (order one percent) penetration levels, wind energy is integrated into the grid by legislative fiat. At deep penetration levels called for, integration of utility-scale wind production into the electricity grid poses serious engineering and market challenges. These are due to the variability, intermittency, and uncontrollability of wind power. In this talk we investigate ways to use a portfolio of available means to achieve deep penetration of wind generation in the current grid. This portfolio includes co-located storage, fast-acting local production, optimized contracts, novel market instruments, and improved forecasting. We introduce a linear programming formulation that enables us to study sensitivities and conduct parametric studies. We argue that co-located storage has a marginal economic utility of approximately 17 MW-hours-per-day for each MW-hour of storage. Our studies suggest that it will become necessary to waste some produced wind energy (when production is lower than thirty percent of nameplate capacity) to permit reliable servicing of electricity contracts. This is due to the difficulty associated with forecasting produced power at low wind levels. Finally, we suggest the use of risk-limiting contracts to achieve firming of wind-power. In these auditable contracts, the producer receives a short reprieve which enables them to offer power predictably by avoiding ramp times. We conclude by discussing how variability risk should be shared among participants in an electricity network while respecting security constraints.
Biography: Eilyan Bitar is a fifth-year doctoral student at U.C. Berkeley working towards the completion of a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Statistics. He received his B.S. from U.C. Berkeley in 2006, where his research focused primarily on the control of reacting flow fields. Currently, his research interests include complex networks, stochastic optimal control and optimization, sequential Monte-Carlo methods, and game theory with applications in renewable energy systems, the electric power grid, electricity markets, energy storage, and wind power forecasting.

Talk Title: Fluid Dynamics and Transport in the Posterior Segment of the Eye
Abstract: The fluid and solute transport in the posterior segment of the eye (vitreous humor and retina) takes place by complex transport mechanisms and processes which have not been fully examined and quantitatively explained in either healthy or diseased eyes. Among the goals of the ongoing research is to develop mathematical models based on experimental data for ocular fluid flow with twofold objectives: (1) to understand the fluid dynamics and transport in healthy and diseased eyes; and (2) to effectively deliver drug-based treatment for the latter. To effectively transport drugs to the retinal area, the transport mechanisms need to be understood and the relevant transport parameters (such as permeabilities and diffusion constants) in the various components of this highly complex structure need to be measured and quantified. To fully model the transport processes, the permeability of the RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) under various circumstances needs to be measured. While a healthy eye maintains a steady and well-regulated flow of fluids throughout the system, diseases can cause disruption to this process. Diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) can cause partial blockage of the RPE and subsequent swelling due to fluid accumulation in the affected regions accompanied by vision impairment. The ongoing research includes the creation of DR conditions by exposing a bovine eye to 25 mM glucose for 24 hours, and measuring the permeability of the RPE together with an eye treated in 5.5 mM glucose as a control. With current experiments, it has been observed that exposure to glucose increases the transepithelial resistance, indicating some suppression of ionic pumping. These procedures are also being conducted for based experimentally grown fetal RPE cells (in-vitro).
Other interesting areas, particularly for drug delivery, include the transport in an aged human eye for which the vitreous humor has a heterogeneous character (gel and liquid) that complicates the mathematical modeling. While the gel may be treated as a porous medium described by Darcy flow, the remaining portion has to be modeled as Stokes flow. The current research on ocular drug delivery includes the modeling of transport through this complex structure and an experimentally-based development of the boundary conditions where the vitreous humor contacts the retina, the lens and the hyaloid, together with continuity conditions at the gel-liquid interfac

Calendar Oddities
Wed, Oct 27, 2010 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free.
Reception to follow.
When is it, anyway? Not easy to say when reckoning time has always been a strange mix of astronomy, culture, math and magic. K.C. Cole, science writer, Annenberg professor and creator of the art/science/whatnot series Categorically Not!, will lead a panel of experts in exploring the inevitable oddities that make calendars so unreasonably interesting.
University professor Solomon Wolf Golomb of the USC Viterbi School and math department will explain, among other things, how Shakespeare and Cervantes could both die on the same dateâyet also ten days apart. Noel Swerdlow, professor of the history of science and astronomy at Caltech, will share some cosmic thoughts on the astronomical origins of calendars and their creators. And âmathemagicianâ Arthur Benjamin, a professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd College and a regular performer at Hollywoodâs famed Magic Castle (and on The Colbert Report), will work calendar magic to the amazement of the audience.
Organized by K.C. Cole (Journalism).

The program and discussion will be moderated by Larry Gross, director of the School of Communication at USC Annenberg.
Nina Berman will share work from her books Purple Hearts, an acclaimed series on wounded veterans from the Iraq War, and Homeland, which documents the militarization of American life and the fantasies we construct in pursuit of empire and security. Berman is the recipient of grants and awards in art and journalism from numerous organizations, including World Press Photo, the Open Society Institute and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She was an artist in residence at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and her work was included in the museumâs 2010 biennial.
Jon Lowenstein will show his award-winning work Shadow Lives USA, a ten-year journey documenting the world of undocumented Latino immigrants. His images present the daily reality of unauthorized existenceâdeportations, border crossings, fragmented familiesâin the context of increasing political concern over the integrity of Americaâs borders. Lowenstein was recently named the Joseph Patterson Albright Fellow by the Alicia Patterson Foundation and garnered a Getty Award for Editorial Images.
Organized by the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.

Automatic Modulation Classification
Fri, Oct 29, 2010 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Professor A. K. Nandi, The University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Talk Title: Automatic Modulation Classification
Abstract: Automatic modulation classification (AMC) attempts to determine the modulation of a received radio signal in the baseband. This has civil and military as well as covert and overt applications. For example, AMC is an essential part of a software defined radio (SDR) system. There has been a long tradition of various research directions in AMC. Most of the methods fall into two approaches. One is called decision theoretic; the maximum likelihood is one such approach when one knows the underlying probability density distribution. It can also be regarded as a classification problem and machine-learning methods can be adapted as long as one discovers some useful features. In this seminar I shall present the nature of the problem, offer some existing ways to explore it, and review some of the results obtained so far. It is still a topic of current interest.
Biography: Professor Asoke K. Nandi received the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge (Trinity College), Cambridge, U.K., in 1979. Since March 1999 he has been at the University of Liverpool and holds the David Jardine Chair of Signal Processing. Currently, he is interested in the areas of machine learning for signal processing, evolutionary algorithms, signal classification, bio-medical signal processing, and communications research. He has authored or co-authored over 400 technical publications, including two books and over 170 journal papers. Professor Nandi is a Fellow of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society for Arts, and the British Computer Society.
