SUMMARY:Smart City Cluster in the Thames Valley – How can smart city thinking make a difference in Reading and other parts of the Thames Valley?
DESCRIPTION:Rob McDonald\, Director of Smart Infrastructure at Peter Brett Associates will deliver the next Reading 2050 lecture. Here he outlines the main themes of his presentation. \nWe are living through a time of unprecedented change both in terms of the rate of change in technology but also in the challenges we face. Council budgets are under increasing financial pressure to deliver their core services with worse to come with an aging population and Reading is no exception. At the same time climate has come to the fore and Reading has joined a large number of authorities across the UK in declaring a climate emergency with the aim to be carbon neutral by 2030\, a challenge of a scale which should not be underestimated. \nA smart city approach to thinking needs to be at the core of our response to these challenges\, tackling our big challenges from a wide range of perspectives\, breaking down the silos between specialisms and better engaging with the people who live\, shop and work in our town. Whilst there in an inference that smart cities are all about the technology\, the optimum solution may not be technology led. \n \nReading Borough Council is the lead authority for the Thames Valley Berkshire\, Smart City Cluster project which is acting as a catalyst to accelerate smart city thinking\, building on existing cross authority and cross sector working within the authorities. It is a £1.73m internet of things (IoT) based project funded by Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). This lecture will set out how the project has formed in the way that it has\, balancing the need of the authorities with available funding opportunities. It will set out where we are\, give an overview of the first round of challenges issued to industry and the next steps with the project. \nRob is a Director of Smart Infrastructure at Peter Brett Associates\, now part of Stantec. He has over 25 years of experience in transport planning and ITS with a key focus on research\, innovation and knowledge sharing through UK and European funding. In recent years Rob had developed his focus from intelligent transport systems to a wider smart cities approach\, recognising the need to break out of individual siloes to deliver the places that we want to live in in the future. Rob secured funding and is now leading a LEP funded Smart City Cluster project in Berkshire that will be calling on industry\, in the first instance\, to address challenges around Council services for vulnerable people. Rob is also a keen advocate of embracing disruptive technology changes that will influence the way we travel and is working with his new colleagues in Stantec to bring in their leading-edge experience such as in shared autonomous vehicles. \nThe lecture is part of the ‘Economy and Employment’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events

SUMMARY:Reading 2050: Digital Visualisation - Understanding the Past and Revealing the Future
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Ian J. Ewart and Dr. Dragana Nikolic\, School of the Built Environment \nIn this lecture we will explore the concept of virtual realities and digital visualization\, examining how perceptions of new digital technologies influence our efforts to harness them. In applying these technologies to the urban environment we will show that it is possible to uncover the past by using evidence from sources such as archives and archaeology to recreate an environment that no longer exists\, with some degree of certainty. We will describe the work done in recreating the sights\, sounds and smells of Roman Silchester\, and how data from surveys and 3D modelling could be used to better understand the Reading Abbey quarter. \nIn keeping with the theme of this lecture series\, we will then discuss the potential for digital technologies to shape the urban future of towns and cities like Reading. Modelling alternative futures allows us to explore consequences and make informed decisions\, so we will discuss and demonstrate some of the tools that are already available to help us do this\, such as our ongoing digital mapping of Reading. Simulations at different scales\, from the national to regions and cities\, and down to individual interactions with small urban areas can offer insights into how our future looks. But we end with a note of caution\, tempering our enthusiasm for digital technologies by recognizing that they need to be relevant and useful\, and applied with a specific objective in mind. \nThe lecture is part of the ‘People and Lifestyle’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods.

SUMMARY:Public lecture: Space Blitz: Discovering the hidden impacts of World War 2 bombing raids
DESCRIPTION:The bombing of cities during the Second World War is still fiercely contested. To some\, the Blitz against British cities and Allied raids over Germany were necessary battles\, weakening the ability of an enemy to wage war. For others\, the destruction of cultural landmarks and the deaths of around a million civilians worldwide were war crimes. \nCoinciding with the anniversary of the British raid on Dresden\, historian Patrick Major and space scientist Chris Scott will explore two different impacts of Second World War bombing raids. Using documents and images from the National Archives\, Professor Major will describe what it was like to be on the ground during the chaos and destruction of an air raid. Professor Scott will explain how a new analysis of wartime records by scientists at the Radio Research Station near Slough has helped Reading researchers today conduct an ‘experiment in the past’ showing how the blast waves from the bombs shook the edge of space.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Storage Challenges in the UK
DESCRIPTION:The Special Interest Group of High-Performance I/O in the UK (SIG IO UK) organizes this workshop to bring together: users of data-intensive workloads\, storage vendors\, and system and middleware developers\, in order to identify common challenges\, to develop strategies for research and funding but also product development. \nThe workshop series generally covers all aspects of data access and management including I/O workflow handling\, parallel file systems\, middleware\, tuning\, performance monitoring\, novel interfaces\, storage technology\, and data center perspectives. The workshop is primarily organized as a series of talks and group discussion slots. \nThis particular workshop focuses on exchanging information about challenges and the ongoing efforts to overcome them aiming to bring forward RD&E and the use of storage systems (in the UK). Users present their challenges faced dealing with I/O and ongoing RD&E to overcome them. Vendor talks focus on technical solutions for certain challenges accompanied by use cases demonstrating the benefit. \nWe welcome the submission of talks and short papers (in LaTeX article format) that summarize the challenges and ongoing effort in different institutions that we will lead to a joint paper submitted to Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science as part of the ISC-HPC proceedings. \nJean-Thomas Acquaviva successively worked for Intel\, the University of Versailles and the French Atomic Commission (CEA). He participated to the creation of their joint laboratory the Exascale Research Centre\, where he led the Performance Evaluation Team. Today he’s actively contributing the development of the DDN Storage Advanced Technology Centre in France. Jean-Thomas has hands-on experience in the HPC ecosystem\, with positions in start-up\, large research public institutions\, SME or global organizations. He has been a direct contributor to the ETP4PH Strategic Research Agenda and he’s chairing two conferences on high performance storage. \nJulian Kunkel is a Lecturer at the Computer Science Department at the University of Reading. He manages several research projects revolving around High-Performance Computing and particularly high-performance storage. Besides his main goal to provide efficient and performance-portable I/O\, his HPC-related interests are: data reduction techniques\, performance analysis of parallel applications and parallel I/O\, management of cluster systems\, cost-efficiency considerations\, and software engineering of scientific software. \nHosted by Julian Kunkel.
