PSERC academic researchers at multiple universitiesacross the U.S. specialize in power systems, appliedmathematics, nonlinear systems, power electronics,control theory, computing, operations research,economics, industrial organization, and public policy.They provide research services and products that addvalue to industry and that support efficient and effectiveprovision of electricity services while meetingenvironmental requirements.

PSERC ResearchIndustry restructuring and technology change iscreating new challenges for the operations, securityand reliability of the power system, for the physical andinstitutional structures, and for delivery of economicaland environmentally acceptable electricity services.PSERC’s research program focus is on helping thenext generation electric power system evolve into acompetitive, high-performance component of thenation’s infrastructure. Its research program is dividedinto three research stems.

Research Stem 1: Markets■ The electric power industry is in transition toward

a market-oriented structure with decentralizeddecision-making by a wide-ranging group ofmarket participants. The research under this stememphasizes the design and analysis of marketmechanisms, computational tools and institutionsthat facilitate efficient coordination, investment,and operations while recognizing the economicand technical characteristics of power systems.

Research Stem 2: Transmission and Distribution■ The power delivery infrastructure is critical to

achieving efficiency, safety, security, and reliabilityin electricity supply. Improvements in thisinfrastructure could be achieved throughinnovations in software, hardware, materials,sensors, communications, and operatingstrategies. Therefore, a central goal of thisresearch stem is the improvement of transmissionand distribution systems through the application oftechnological advances.

Research Stem 3: Systems■ Restructuring is leading to large and complex

operational entities (such as Independent SystemOperators or Regional TransmissionOrganizations) while small-scale, dispersedgeneration technologies are increasing theirpenetration in power systems. The challenge is todevelop new operations frameworks andapproaches that will effectively cope with thegrowing complexity of a restructured industry.Systems research concentrates on operation ofsuch complex, dynamic systems in general andpower systems in particular.

The Arts, Media and Engineering

Center (AME) represents an

ambitious interdisciplinary research

community at ASU that focuses on

the parallel development of media

hardware, software, content, and

theory. Designed as a joint effort

between the Katherine K. Herberger

College of Fine Arts (HCFA) and the

Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering,

the AME Center addresses the

discontinuum that exists between

media content and media

technologies through a shift in media

and arts training.

By bringing artists and content creators togetherwith engineers who have expertise in digital signalprocessing, wireless network communications,audio and image processing, controls, and sensorsignal processing, the AME Center trains studentsto integrate principles of computing andcommunication with artistic ideas and objectives.This synthesis will enable new paradigms ofhuman-machine experience that directly addresssocietal needs and facilitate knowledge.

“We learn through experience, and experience isinteractive,” says AME Director Thanassis Rikakis.“Students are looking for this kind of synthesisbetween the arts and technology.”

The AME Center’s commitment to cross-disciplinaryresearch is evident through its structure. Rikakis, aprofessor of music, comes from the College of FineArts. Associate Directors Andreas Spanias from theDepartment of Electrical Engineering and ForouzanGolshani from the Department of ComputerScience and Engineering represent the Ira A. FultonSchool of Engineering. In addition to its partnershipwith the departments of electrical engineering andcomputer science and engineering, the AME Centerinvolves the departments of art, dance, music, andtheater. The center is also recruiting participationfrom anthropology, bioengineering,communications, design and architecture,psychology, and sociology faculty.

Although the MIT Media Lab, founded in 1985, andthe Carnegie Mellon Entertainment TechnologyCenter, founded in 1998, have similarinterdisciplinary programs, Rikakis sees the AMECenter as the next step in bridging the gapbetween medium and message. “The fact thatconservatives on both are sides are saying this isgoing to be all about art or all about engineeringtells us that we’re right in the middle where wewant to be,” he says. “We try to make sureeverything we do has commercial applications.”

Left: This production studio supports analog and digitalvideo production, 3-D animation and 2-D graphics,interactive media development and programming forCD-ROM and DVD, and Web development for telematic,database, and other research.

Golshani concurs: “Clearly the major impact will bein various arts fields, such as dance, theatre, andmusic, but several other areas can benefitsubstantially from the AME work. Representativeareas include rehabilitation, security, and sports. Asyou can see, these fields are very diverse andeach may use our work in a different way.”

“The objective is to produce new, hybrid graduatestudents who draw their creativity from the arts andtheir methodology from engineering sciences,” saysSpanias.

The center’s current projects include body sensing,electronic motion capture, microphone arrays, datafusion, networking and transmission, and digitalsignal processing for the arts. The center is also inthe process of hiring several new faculty memberswho will hold joint positions with the Ira A. FultonSchool of Engineering and HCFA.

Hari Sundaram joined the Department of ComputerScience and Engineering and AME in fall 2002. “Atthe present moment,” Sundaram says, “I amconducting research on developing computationalmodels in a new area of multimedia called

‘experiential computing.’ AME, along with the centerof experiential computing at Georgia Tech, is amongthe few centers performing research in this area.”

Sundaram expects his research to impact a numberof areas, including new computational models forrepresentation and communication of experiences,creation of new forms of interactive, goal drivenexperiences to facilitate learning, creation of newmultimodal experiential sites, and development oftools that utilize new methods of content creation.

Gang Qian, who begins a joint position with theDepartment of Electrical Engineering and the AMECenter in fall 2003, will join the signal processinggroup in the Department of Electrical Engineeringwhile leading research on motion analysis at theAME Center.

Motion analysis allows extraction of 3-Dmeasurement of movements and structures ofjoints, body parts, and whole human bodies fromvideos. It is crucial for numerous theoretical andpractical research problems in performance arts,rehabilitation, and human behaviors that requirequantitative measures of human movements.

“I strongly believe that the research of the Centerwill impact society in a number of areas such asarts, rehabilitation, and education,” said Qian. “By

successfully creating computational models forexperiential elements and mediated arts, not onlycan existing forms of arts and experiences such asdance, and music be represented and archivedmore conveniently, novel forms of artscommunicating experiences will be created byplaying with these computational models.”

Rehabilitation will benefit because the center willdevelop low-cost human movement analysisalgorithms. Computational models of humanbehaviors to be rehabilitated such as walking canthen be built using real data and the models canbe customized for individuals.
