 tructure Systems -  Lucio Soibelman\, Professor and Chair\, University of 
 Southern California

DESCRIPTION:Infrastructure systems\, broadly defined to include buildings 
 and other facilities\, transportation infrastructure\, telecommunication n
 etworks\, the power grid and environmental systems will require more and m
 ore that engineers provide a continuous state awareness\, assessment and p
 roactive decision making for the complete life-cycle of the systems and pr
 ocesses they create. Such continuous state awareness and proactive decisio
 n making will allow these systems to be more efficiently and effectively m
 anaged in both normal and abnormal conditions. Advanced Infrastructure Sys
 tems is defined here to refer to innovative systems\, components\, devices
  and processes that improve the performance and/or reduce the life-cycle c
 ost of a broad range of physical infrastructure systems.\n\nThere are many
  technological developments and research projects that already support\, o
 r begin to support this vision. Civil Engineers\, not just electrical and 
 computer engineers and computer scientists\, can and should be involved in
  delivering this overall vision. \n\nAt this talk professor Soibelman will
  introduce his vision and work developed within his  research  group focus
  on the application and exploration of emerging Information and Communicat
 ion Technologies (ICT)\, to a broadly defined set of infrastructure system
 s and associated processes\, such as planning\, design\, construction\, fa
 cility/infrastructure management\, and environmental monitoring\, so as to
  improve their sustainability\, efficiency\, maintainability\, durability\
 , and overall performance of these systems.\n
