The document discusses using evolutionary algorithms and modeling to understand cooperative behavior in complex systems. It describes how agent behaviors can be evolved using a genetic algorithm to optimize behaviors according to a fitness function. Simulation results show how cooperation can evolve over time in models of problems like the prisoner's dilemma and public goods games under different selection pressures and environment structures. Challenges in the evolutionary modeling approach are also discussed.

We study the problem of profit maximization in social networks through influence diffusion. We propose elegant model that describes the diffusion process, distinguishes between the states of being influenced and adopting a product. We then give efficient and effective algorithms to solve this NP-hard problem.

Elmenreich Interoperability between smart and legacy devices in energy manage...Wilfried Elmenreich
Energy management systems can help to decrease energy consumption by giving user feedback or by directly controlling devices. Smart appliances create a network of devices that can be addressed and controlled via a defined network interface. However, legacy devices will establish a significant portion of a system’s power consumption and, therefore, need to be included into the management system. We propose an open architecture to integrate smart and non-smart devices by using smart plugs and non-intrusive load monitoring methods. Devices are connected either as (i) smart appliances via a fieldbus or wireless network, (ii) legacy devices connected to a smart plug, or (iii) other legacy devices being detected from a time sequence of power consumption values, which are disaggregated into the power draws of different devices. At a service layer, device properties are presented in a unified way including a machine-readable description of their features and properties. The data layer provides an abstract representation of data and functionalities. It connects to the application layer where different applications can access the data. The system supports mechanism for service discovery, service coordination, and service and resource description.
Machine Learning Techniques for the Smart Grid – Modeling of Solar Energy usi...Wilfried Elmenreich
This talk covers the application of machine learning techniques for energy applications, in particular for modeling solar radiation. The first part explores meta-heuristic search algorithms and envisioned their application for designing distributed, self-organizing control systems using evolutionary algorithms. The second part gives an introduction to solar radiation modeling and shows how neural networks can be used to artificial neural networks to learn the correlation of input parameters such as latitude, longitude, temperature, humidity, month, day, hour to predict global and diffuse solar radiation.
These are the slides for my keynote lecture "AI Techniques for Smart Grids" at the 2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia conference where I discussed the role and potential of self-organization in the smart grid.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
