DESCRIPTION:Professor Mohsen Jafari\, Rugers University\nIn this talk we w
 ill cover three areas of ongoing research in our team at Rutgers Universit
 y. The first topic deals with management of asset networks and takes a dif
 ferent perspective by using value-based optimization and building a feedba
 ck mechanism between  the underlying system dynamics and the decision maki
 ng process. The methodology was initially intended for transportation infr
 astructure investment and maintenance. Extensions to other areas including
  production systems will also be discussed. The second topic will deal wit
 h energy efficient industrial and production systems. We will present a co
 mputational and metering infrastructure that can support energy efficiency
  from individual processes to supply chains. We will also discuss our prel
 iminary concepts on how one can harvest process variability for energy eff
 iciency. Finally\, the last part of the talk will briefly describe our ong
 oing work on distributed micro-grids and the development of intelligent op
 erational and control under uncertainties due to demand and renewable sour
 ces.
