Essential Premise
Actions we take today will shape the reality of tomorrow:strong coupling between several complex systems
Accurate anticipation is conducive to effective decisions.

ChallengesComplexity, Uncertainty, Mutiple scales, Humans-in-the-loop
Quantities of interest are observed on a multitutde of scales.Strong coupling between well-understood physical processes andhighly speculative processes underlying human and socialdynamics.Significant uncertainty exists in all components of the problem.Coupling between human and physical processes is at a coarsestscale (media-bites).Stakeholders are not of voting age.

Vision
Use information technology and modeling to enable theengineering of policies and decisions with managedconsequences.Enable data-driven prediction science for complex coupledinfrastructure systems accounting for human dynamics.
Ghanem (USC) Ubiquitous Sustainable Cities SoCal Smart Grid Symp 12 / 16
Approach and Methodology
Create information immersion through a hierarchy of areanetworks .Develop requisite IT infrastructure.Develop validated models of population dynamics and modelresponse of humans to policies and environmental drivers.Develop models for coupling humans and infrastructure systems.Fold predictive models into decision-making environments.

Closing
science has advanced to the point where we can build materialsone atom at a time.humans are arguably more comple than atoms.information immersion seems like a reasonable way forward.
